Umpire Glove
 

http://www.theumpiresglove.com/

I **** you not, I will not be responsible for what I say to the first umpire I find using this "equipment". :mad:

Sweet! Handy Dandy and surely fits perfectly in my ball bag that I wear when I'm on the bases too!

I bet it looks swell with a plate coat...

The possibilities are endless.

ONLY 20 bucks!!!

As entertaining as your equipment presentation was at the last ASA clinic, I would have enjoyed watching you demo the right-handed glove with free indicator. Perhaps there could have been two demos with a black glove on the left hand and white glove on the right hand.:D

Anyone who would even consider that product probably already has this one: http://www.umpirestuff.com/

I'm trying to figure out how their masks get so dirty and pick up chalk. Are they suggesting the umpire drop their masks?

Can anyone tell me why I should have both my hands free, when I (as PU) am walking towards the field?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh lordie......

These have to be products designed by coaches so they can have a laugh... thats the only reasonable explanation.

Actually, I much prefer hanging my mask over my belt-holstered cell phone. :p :D :D

While I would not get caught dead with my mask hanging from my belt, as one who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome, the glove for my left hand when I am behind the plate might not be a bad idea.

MTD, Sr.

funny - someone trying to make a $

Perhaps the glove can be an instrument used by the UIC for reaching up the umpire's a$$ who wears it to pull out his teeth.

And with the hook, I can see it now... "Hey, Blue? Are you going to buy my catcher a nose job and a new eyeball? It was your hook that caused that damage when she fell over because she tripped on your mask that you tossed aside. Yes Blue, your mask. The one lying there on the chalk line."

Tired of carrying that indicator all day?

Don't you hate dropping it in the dirt and having to clean it off?

What good is being able to hang your mask on your belt if you still must carry that clicker around???

Is there anything more embarrassing than having a great lawn mower sell out that sends the girl to the dug out crying... only to realize you tossed your indicator half way to short stop?

I know I hate it when that happens... so I came up with a solution.. and...

Have I got the product for you!!???!!!111

I just wonder where the facemask hook goes if you are one of the many umpires who wears two ball bags? :eek:

I have a suggestion......:rolleyes:

That's what I was afraid of.

I understand that in the off-season, the mask-hanging apparatus can be used for a colonoscopy.:eek: I wonder if insurance would cover that? Guess you would need to contact Bollinger? :cool:

Now that's just wrong in soooooo many ways!

I wear 2.. I almost dont know how I got along so long only wearing one... that is a lot of stuff I need to stuff into 1.. so 2 makes it much better. One is almost administrative in nature..

And it looks just fine.. and as a bonus, I have ASA on both sides...

And my mask hook fits just fine between the opening of the ball bag.

Well for slow pitch, thats a lot of work.... there should be a regular ole kitchen sweeping broom leaning against the backstop that you can use.. pretty much a must have at all decent beer league venues.

So what do you use your pants pockets for? Not trying to insinuate anything at all...... but why can't administrative stuff be held in trouser pockets? Elsewise...why do we have them?

we have them because pants are suppose to have them :) but on a larger framed individual, (I'm not fat I am big boned) these pockets become all screwed up from squating making them hard to get things into and out of, or maybe I just need bigger pants.....back pockets are ok, for like lineup card holder....but even that gets hung up when squating at home....again maybe just my closet light shrunken pants (I can't be getting bigger) are the issue....but I look much more professional pulling things out of my ball bags than trying to fumble with my pockets...just my $0.02 worth

I can't speak for anyone else, but the reason I wear two bags is at the collegiate level they have to supply us with 5 game balls. It is really hard to carry 4 softballs in one bag. Yes, I also keep my plate brush and my line-up card wallet and bat ring in there as well. At the sub collegiate level, I wear two because often I can talk HS coaches into supplying me with 4-5 game balls, so that we won't have to stop play while we wait for the fouled off balls to be returned. Also, I keep all the aforementioned things in my ball bags as well, simply because it looks better and they are more convenient.

I usually have 3-4 game balls and then all my other stuff and its just too crowded. I usually like to keep 1 game ball and my line up card holder and bat list in my second bag.. I've found it to be much more manageable. I'm one who thought 2 bags was lame too, until I tried it.

Because that is the way pants are made? Do you think it would be more economical to have Fechheimer manufacture a specially designed pair of pants for a limited market?

How about the pockets in the ball bag? I think there was probably a reason for them.

Personally, I'm not a two-bag person, but I still don't use my trouser pockets for anything other than a handkerchief.

I usually have nothing in my pants pockets. Certainly not a wallet, car keys, or other "visible" items. It is an appearance thing.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Pool.;)

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.
