Thanks for the pics. Too bad I didn't see those BEFORE I spent most of the night using the trial and error method! On second thought, I was like a kid at Christmas. It was fun.

I basically loaded my bag the same way, and ironically my wife looked at it and said, "You spend a lot of money on umpiring equipment!"

Looking at Kevin's bag makes me realize how much equipment we actually use in baseball. In comparison, I need so little for football.

That's one of the principal reasons I don't do football.

Not enough things to spend money on?

How do you keep the NB plate shoes so shiny. They look so nice.

Thank you.

That shine? Believe it or not, it's Dove!

(You clean them off with a mild Murphy's Oil Soap solution and dry them off. Spray generously with the pump spray--including the sides of the soles--and let dry. It washes off each time with the Murphy's. And a $3.00 bottle gets you 25 or 30 shines.)

Are you serious? Hair spray shines shoes? I'm a shoe polish based spit-shiner (Esquire) but if this really works, I'll give it a try!

my wife says the same thing...LOL


I also have the Wilson bag and love it.. I have travel with it, no problems there. It has a lot of room I have a CP and 2 pairs of shinguard, 2 masks in the bottom alone. Its easy to get around.
