Plate Coat

[Forest Ump]

I have never seen a plate coat worn by the guys in my group. I actually have never seen one close up. I was wondering, Do you wear ball bags with a plate coat or does it have big pockets for the balls?

Pockets. At least on mine. I think they are all that way. I have worn one for about ten years now. I love it and wear it whenever I can. Agree that no one really notices though.

Yeah, the pockets are lined with heavy duty material, and bellowed to make them able to accept baseballs. The whole coat is constructed for the job. Even the arm pits are vented

The pockets of the plate coat are built sturdy for the purpose of being ball bags. Don't wear ball bags with a plate coat.

Careful JK. Obvious attempts at humor, even when accompanied with a "smilie", seem to result in name calling.

Was it velour or crushed velvet?

Crushed velvet would have gone nice during the disco years !!!!
Actually, in the day, it was not bad. Now, it looks gawdy and I wouldn't be caught dead in it - much like the red shirt that sits in the bottom of my gear box. Remember too, jacket were also worn on the bases in the "show" and in big amateur games.

I don't have a raft to use, but now I know when to wear those leather ball bags I purchased.

Now you're getting it.

No, those are for working the bases. Only leather ball bags on the bases.
