I must have worked with his cousin here in my neck of the woods on Saturday. I had seen this guy work some and heard all of the stories about his shall we say "antics". Well, they are true. On one...

I buy into everything that Carl, Tee, and Rich say about the GD stance. Heck I even talk with Scott Ehret on the phone several times a year. However, I've tried it and all I can say is that I really...

I tried several years ago when the CC/Freix flame wars were going on to ask for someone to be the bigger man and give it up. I guess Freix took his toys and went home but CC is still at it.

I remember my first HS JV game in 1998. As I was getting low on baseballs, I looked over at the home dugout and held up 3 fingers. I was expecting that since I was working "big boy" ball that a...

I have them

I've worn the +POS lo-cut, the Honigs Hi-top, and the pre-Patent Leather GD Hi-Top. I liked the GD Hi-Top a lot and still do. The GD-12's are a good plate shoe if you are on a budget. I personally...

In Central NC, we get $55 a game for varsity and $50 for JV. We don't get paid for mileage. Our assignor tries to keep us within a hour from home.

Jason,

I've used the GD shin guards since late last season. They are great and as others have mentioned they are light and you don't have the strap grinding into your knee. I've seen the...

Yep..
