Just a part of the job! Why do you think I umpire? :D

A reasonable response. The other would be cold weather, having the fingers exposed showing of the ball-strike count black on navy shirts or black in general is hard to see. Gopd forbid that you wear a white one in this tuff room. :D

I have for some time used the Ump-Attire ball bag with the zippered storage pocket. I put car keys there, sometimes a money clip. Everything else (lineup card holder, brush, indicator when not in my hand, bat ring, etc.,) goes in the ball bag or stays in the car. For some tournaments, they supply card-stock lineup cards that don't need a separate holder. Sometimes I'll slip those in my back pocket.

GAAASP NO SAY IT AIN"T SO DAKOTA JOE :D

The Ump-Attire bag is handy because of the zippered pocket, but otherwise, I have mixed feelings about it. The navy blue fades too quickly and too much, and the bag itself is kind of "thick." But, I'll continue to use it for its practical advantages.

Last season, I started regularly using a second ball bag. I do like the extra room - the ability to keep game balls separated from other stuff, the room for more than one extra game ball, etc. - but it is entirely a practical thing with me. I know some favor two bags for the "balanced" look.

TWO UMP-ATTIRE BAGS MY GOD WHAT NEXT? NON PATENT LEATHER BELS ??? SIR HAVE YOU NO SHAME ?????

Fortunately, I'm beyond caring what the small ball small minds think about the ump-attire bag. ;)

It is a very practical idea, but, the implementation is not what it could be.

Suggestions for the better? We took the concept and made seceral changes (baseball) ourselves.
