I didn't even think about shoes at that time. The "boss" at home is already wondering how much I will be investing in equipment, haha. I told her it was like shoes for ladies, you never have enough. Didn't get the laugh i was hoping for..

Thanks all for the information. It is much appreciated.
I am already getting butterflies about doing my first game.

If any one is in the SW Mich area and is doing games this fall i would like to come and watch you work. I can even travel to the east side of the state on the weekends, sister lives in Canton and welcomes the visit from her little brother.

Wow... 2 hours for shoes? You'd spend more in gas than shipping if you had to return them!

I told my wife that it would cost about $450-500 for me to get one set of all of my gear, and I was pretty spot-on in my estimate. Fortunately, most of the other stuff I've been using in slow pitch is just fine for fast pitch: belts, cup, compression shorts, etc.
