apparently for those who don't use ball bags...

they have those water belts for runners...there will be a photo of a dude sporting a water bottle or two from his hip. that would be awesome.

When I was playing baseball in HS (30+ years ago), I was a catcher and had begun umpiring little league by then. So I used to pay closer attention to the umpires than my team mates.

One of the slobs showed up (you can't make this stuff up) one day for the game, with his faded black windbreaker (too cheap to buy a plate coat...and way before pullovers had come into play), and pulled his really-badly-faded-from-the-rain beanie style hat out of his ball bag.

To top it all off....the balloon protector that was (of course) faded, and showed the ribs in it where he had put too much air in it. Navy (kind of) blue to match (not) his faded black windbreaker.

Let's just say that his first impression didn't enthrall anyone.

Back to the belt clip. May need to stock up on blue gatorade, red, light blue....all can match the shirt....but you guys will have a problem finding it in black.

Does it look bad to tuck the throat guard in the back of your pants and let the mask hang? Not during the game but before when inspecting field and equipment and during coaches meeting.

This is a joke, right?

Umpires (well, those pretending to be umpires) have been known to do that.
