I have discovered a use for every one of these things in my years as an umpire. I can also walk to the house with my Diamond rolling bag, tote, cooler and briefcase in one trip. My uniforms and supply bucket come in another trip. And it all fits easily into the back of a Jeep. As Tim and many others will attest, you can have your whole vast collection in or out of the car in three minutes. Organization is king!

Special Thanks, Tim C., this was fun compiling this. It will also be fun aspiring to match your vast collection.

You really are a junkie although some of this I would not count. For example, I never go anywhere with pants on without chapstick in my pants pocket.

And where do you put the chapstick when you don't have pants on?

For all the equipment junkies. New balance has the 450 for $87.99 and free shipping. I think it said till Dec. 12th but I'm not sure. Anyway, last month was the same price but shipping was not free. Good luck.

Damn! I already have two pairs, and can't justify a third. That's a great price, too. This is a gear junkie dilemma: should I buy something I already have tow of just because the price is terrific, or should I pass. Being a gear junkie is not fun at times.

Equipment Bags
Do any of your equipment bags hold your chest protector? Or do you have a separate bag for it or carry it separately?

Excellent job! You'll love them both. The 350s are very light, have nice cushioning, and look nice and shiny with a little hair spray.

I swear; just spray the NBs with water or some mild solution like Murphy's Oil Soap & water, wipe them off with a towel, and spray them generously with Dove extra hold pump spray. They look beautiful and it could not be easier or more economical.

I'll have to look into that. I got them Monday, but haven't touched them since I'm studying for final exams. Do you use Leather Luster on them at all? or just murphy's oil?
