Equipment Suggestions

I've got a Honigs single bar that I absolutely love. Dumped my +POS SUL for it. I bought the red frame for $14 just to see if I'd like it. Sure do.

I also have an All Star umpire helmet. I usually reserve it for backstops that have an overhang, but I forgot yesterday. Clank! At least I didn't hit the little metal button!

I can wear a full bill cap with a mask and keep it on. Lots of practice. But not the helmet. And I will NOT wear those beanie bill hats. I remember what Jimmy Dugan called an umpire wearing one of those, and don't need that visual.

I echo the others about buying the best gear possible. I sold all my rookie year stuff on ebay this summer to clear the garage for the good gear. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
