Heck you could even carry on the bases with you, just in case your partner loses his and also to show everyone that as a base umpire, you can look professional to.

Disagree. Umpiring naked would be new, but also an extremely bad idea.

There was a similar product a couple of years back. The difference, as I recall, was the other one was rigid and unfolded for use. When you were done you could simply snap it back into its locked position.

Seriously, after a HS playoff series last year, the guy who "invented" this approached our crew and asked who the crew chief was. When I answered that I was the crew chief, he handed me one of these, along with his business card. Not wanting to be rude, I accepted it, but I have not used it, nor would I ever.

I believe the ball bag would cover the hook.

Props to the man for coming up with an idea to make some $$. But what a stupid idea. lol

Hang it on the toilet wall/door. Might come in handy in there.
