You must have constantly used honesty.

slightly off topic, but didn't think it was worth a new thread...

Do sites that sell umpire gear have noticeably better deals in the offseason or is it about the same year-round? First-year umpire here who will be getting promoted next baseball season, so was curious if there was a best time to upgrade.

I'll keep my eye out for deals on places like Ebay and such, but was curious about the basic Honig's, +POS, etc. sites. Thanks.

Honig's has always had 10% off in December as long as I can remember.

Hey, that rhymed!

my job in life is to set you up for moments of triumph just like that one Matt.

Even better--10% off gift certificates. Buy one and use it later on to save 10% on something else you want.

When they get new shoe models in the old ones will often get marked down. I picked some New Balance base shoes that way this spring.

I did that in December '04 (bought a jacket) and felt a tad guilty for some reason, like it was against the rules or something. I moved twice (once in '05, and again in '06) without ever wearing it. When I attempted to locate it after the most recent move, it was not to be found. I consider that karma.

Did those moves coincide in any way with the ends of marriages one and two?

Darn skippy! November is the best time of year to tell Santa what you want for baseball gear and if you have any loved ones you get your stuff for a really good discount. Be REAL SPECIFIC. I got my last pair of plate shoes that way.

Always took it one clause too far.
