Gear alert: GD [Wilson] has a new CP!

[Kevin Finnerty]

I know, I know, another Darth Vader/Batman-ish design. But they seem to look like they give pretty good protection for the money, and you must admit that they look a helluva lot better than the old stuff:

I'm now redlining my list to Santa, and putting my platinum on eBay. Finally an ergonomicly designed cp.

I'll be anxious to hear about the early reviews from the NCAA guys who start in the next couple of months. Are there any southern states that have HS ball going on right now or in the next month or two? If so, they'll have some input as well. Looks sharp!

Well, I'm interested in how it fits and covers, but I am not going as far as putting my Platinum on Ebay.

I agree, but who can tell besides you and your partner? (unless you wear the gear outside your clothes.)

[johnnyg08]

you don't wear your's on the outside?

[Kevin Finnerty]

Yeah!

Here's a picture of me from a couple years ago. But I got too much heat and got a Platinum.

I am somewhat impressed with the thought the GD boys put into these items. But, I will never wear anything else but my Carlucci, and 17" shin guards are not long enough for me.

I look forward to the evaluations on the gear.

As an aside, I will be at the Chicago NCAA meeting next year. This is the 1st one I have ever been to. Do they have a lot of people selling gear at these meetings? What are these meetings like?

And as we get close to the gathering, let's see if some of us could meet sometime and break bread together, or drink beverages of our choice...

Do you have this one for sale, since you have moved up to something "better"? I like the way this one looks....

Oh, and are those the keys to the batters box in his right hand?

That shot of MLB umpire Bill Summers appeared in a 1959 issue of Life Magazine. I've seen an enlargement of the photo - those are not keys in his right hand, it's a brush.

Looks like you have let the air out of the balloon and have your keys in hand. Everyone should know the strikezone is now(or was) nose to toes and dugout to dugout.
