Thanks!

Get all of your uniform stuff from ASA - hats, shirts, ball bags, and I get my pants there too. They have Fecheimer pants and I think those, along with Cliff Keen, are by far the best.

I would only get ASA-insignia ball bags from ASA - all other ball bags I get from Honigs. ASA's are slightly smaller. I use 2 bags all the time - it looks better and allows me to carry the "spares".
For just about all of my other stuff, I use Mike Shields' store - good (not great) proce and outstanding service.
In the past, I have used Gerry Davis, Honigs, and Lesters - service is great at all of them, but Davis is overpriced when compared to the others.

I get my equipment from Honigs and shirt, hat, jacket and ball bags for ASA. For fastpitch I go with two ball bags because I hate having the game stop because all the balls are out of play.

I was going to take exception to the previous post that stated "one ball bag," but I see that you have already pointed that out. I actually have four of each type that I may need. In other words, four grey. four navy no letters, four navy ASA. As I wear two at time, like you stated, for many of the same reasons, I don't have to worry about the appearance of my bags as I always have a clean set waiting in the van.
