Gear bag...

You might try the brand of umpire bag that didn't require modifications and improvements to make it of standard quality and worth the price: The Diamond.

I have punished it year-round for years now, and it's still performing beautifully.

Kevin, we are going to get you to like one thing Jim Evans and not take subtle digs at it. I'm passing around the collection plate, we are getting you a pair of those socks. You won't pay anything. Will you accept?

I have used and abused my Evans bag for the past two years with no problems or failures.

I will give it a greater test this year taking it on the road for an extended time. I expect it will continue to perform as it has in the past.

Now you've done it, Tuss. Be prepared for your face-full of outrage....

I know some people had zipper problems, I never had any during my two pro seasons. I'm sure the diamond bag's first version wasn't perfect, either, and the newer updated Force3 seems to have addressed all the major complaints. But go with what works for you.

I use 2 large clear tupperware style containers ($6.00) along with a clothes bar ($9.00) in the back of my Chevy Tahoe (14 MPG).... Works GREAT since I only do HS Maybe some day I will need one of those fancy suitcases you guys are talking about.

I won mine (a regular suitcase) in a golf outing in 1987, and it's been with me around the States and the world, including 5 D-1 Regionals. Still "suits" me...
