Red caps?

[johnnyg08]

Admittedly, I was a fan of the red when it first came out. Now, I don't even bring it with me so there no temptation for my partner (whomever that may be) to suggest wearing the red. Now, if they had red ball bags to go w/ my red hat and red shirt, that might change my mind! :-) On second thought...probably not.

I too, have strong opinions on guys who don't keep their gear in good shape...especially their hats, shirts, and pants...those are the things that the non-umpires notice when we step on the field. There are very few guys out there who are that hard-up for money that they can't keep their uniforms looking sharp. IMO, guys who don't look sharp bring down the entire association's reputation.
