The wrinkle releaser may work on the pullovers, but be careful........you should NOT use fabric softener with them......and I think the wrinkle releaser has some in it.

BTW.......Wrinkle Releaser does NOT work on Elbeco's.

Never thought I'd be posting in a laundry discussion! :D

Why shouldn't fabric softener be used with the pullovers?

When I bought my first micromesh pullovers, the sales person told me not to use fabric softener.....he said it interfered with the micromeshes ability to breath away moisture......I don't know if that is correct....but better safe than sorry.

Joel

I haven't seen any need for a fabric softener for any of the uniforms. But I don't recall any of the stores or manufacturers saying not to use them.

Look at where this discussion has taken us! You can really tell that winter is setting in! :D

Just finished what I am hoping is my last tourney of 2001. 18U Fastpitch tournament for charity. Saw some good ball playing and raised funds for a worthy cause. Now maybe I can take about a month and a half off, not counting meetings, rules clinics, tests...etc.

You're going to take a month & a half off, Scott. Here in the northeast, I've had more than a month since my last games and have until at least the beginning of March before the first game next year.

In another couple of weeks, I'll start working out. Then spend a few hours each week working with one of the local college teams beginning mid-January. And clinics & chapter meetings will start in February.

Our AFA shirts are not like the ASA or NFHS pull-overs.
They are a Jersey knit [made by Jerzees & Haynes] not of
the Micro-Mesh as are POS & Hoing' and ASA. So the Downy
Softener works on them. I use Sears Flex Slacks and it
works on them also. Naturally, an ironing is the best
solutions to wrinkle problems

Yow Steve! What do you do with all of that time? In these warmer climes they play ball about as much as they can. There are actually a couple of "small" tourneys in January that I know of, but I have no plans to take part in them. (Of course, as we all know in this biz plans can change at the drop of a fitted ASA cap.) First BIG tourney in this area is the first weekend in February, then there are a couple of smaller ones after that. High schools crank up about the third week of Feb., and from there on it is all uphill until about September, when the number of leagues and tournaments begin to slow down a little. The last of the bigger tourneys is the one that I was talking about in my last post, which is always early December. Let me sum this up...there are plenty of opportunities around here for some dedicated umpires.

Scott,
I take the first month & don't do much at all - my bdy tells me that I need the rest after 320+ games. Then I start going over the books and start seriously studying in early January. Mid-January, I start doing some plate work with a local college team. I'm also working then on some aspect of a clinic for the high school district then. The clinics and chapter meetings start in February, so keep busy. But after the first month, gotta admit that I'd rather be on the field.
