@Umpiresrock74 what happened to your instagram page? I'm still interested in getting a chicago screw upgrade. What's the best way to get in contact?

Hello All! I am Looking for Douglas Black Shin guards... preferably in size 16" or 17" Does anyone have any they are looking to get rid of?

Does any one know what the actual change Ref Smart is doing when you send it in? Is it a change of the internal circuit board or is it just a dipswitch change?

Only a theory...But due to the small field (60ft. Diamond) Some of the baseball mechanics are derived from softball mechanics. I am also willing to bet that there are a good amount of LL Baseball umpires that also do LL softball or higher levels of softball. Some of the style and mechanics seem to be similar. Some regions also have standard mechanics that they teach during their local and regional umpire clinics. This also makes umpire evaluation more consistent across various regions.

I have the most recent version of the Hongis Plate Coat. They have a new supplier now other than Hardwicks. I picked it up this past February. The turn around was very fast, as they do have standard sizes in stock. You can get on in 3-5 days./ I also had them put my uniform number on the sleeve. This also makes the jacket non-returnable so make sure you have the size right if you are having a number added. Once you place an order, they will have you verify your shoulder and chest measurements with chest protector on. Coats come in Long and Regular sizes, no short lengths.

If the pitching is 90+ i would go with the Douglas... It just takes time to get it molded. Try using a hair dryer with it on as tight as you can wear it. Once you get it molded it should fit pretty good. Also if you don't have the T-hooks mod done on it get that done, that will help conform it to your body it to your body better.

I'm just like sex... in and out very quickly!

Is there anyone that is doing chest protector padding replacements/retrofits? I know team Wendy used to do it several years ago but got out of the game. Douglas will only retrofit old Douglas equipment only. Does any one out there make replacement pads?

If anyone has a 40R or 48 Short or 38R or 38Short Honigs let me know.....

What is your height and weight? I have a plate coat that has been altered and my be a 44. If you can provide some measurements I can send you the measurements of the coat I have. Its a Hongis Hardwick model.

Looks good! I admire your creativity!

Lol! Hope All is well brother! I am always lurking! Don't know too much about the outwest coat... Is it god Quality? I contacted honigs and they do have some instock, They will also tailor it a bit so it has more of a custom fit. However, they aren't made by Hardwicks any more they are maid by Berle which is a suit manufacture similar to Herdwicks.

Looking for a plate coat (preferably Honigs brand) in size 40 or 42? Any one have one to sale? I know I can get a new one from Honigs or Out west but need one before the season starts and I'm not sure they will be able to deliver in time.

Congratulations Gentlemen! Keep working hard and make sure you go to a camp every fall! Good Luck this year!
