When did we go from talking about jerseys to shoes?

The Navy shirt is listed as "Umpire Polo - Collegiate." @grayhawk - but is that the official uniform for MLB umpires? It could be just what majestic just named the shirt.

Nice job by Kellogg. Met him when we went to St. Louis a couple years ago. Nice guy.

So... This is what the MLB umps will wear next year... Correct?

Has anyone heard about this? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-2684357/Sleeping-baseball-fan-sues-ESPN-two-broadcasters-10million.html

@JaxRolo - Did you see that really late time call he made? Shook of Kazmir, and he had to throw off the mound to see if he was ok. Didn't see that on Jeff's video. @JaxRolo - I'm talking about when Angel Hernandez called time about 2 or 3 innings later. I tried to find it on MLB's website, but wasn't there.

I believe tichenor changed back to his old setup, nike with Belgard pads. Correct me if I'm wrong

One question though... Is it bad to wear nothing under your shirt?

Did anyone else notice his ear was swollen?

@Chris Hickman - I'm assuming you've tried them out by now. How are they?

@umpire_scott - What about white under light blue? I've worn that before, but mostly use black under light blue.

@Moe - OK. Just making sure.

@Moe - also, the Team Wendy's are black.

The ESPN broadcasters were saying they continued because there were 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th. They also said that if they were in the 5th inning or something like that, they would've stopped play.

@Moe - Is it the mask that Wally wore before he passed? If so, it's a Black Honigs frame with TeamWendy pads.

I paused the video when they were showing the slo-mo replay, and when the ball first entered his glove, his TOE was still ON THE BAG I guess you would say he was on his "tippy toes."

I will use Tapatalk occasionally and it works just fine for me.

@Old Skool - I bet you are very proud of your son. Which Umpire School did he graduate from?

Right now I wear a +POS mask. I just got it last week. Before that I had a Champro Magnesium. My CP is the All-Star System 7. My shins are the Wilson charcoal, but I have a pair of Douglas I need to send to them to get reconditioned. Why? @MidAmUmp - I don't know, just wondering. Wasn't trying to be a dick. I just didn't know if you were going somewhere with it. I bought the mask. All-Star gave me the CP. I've had the Wilson shins for 4 years & bought the Douglas shins this winter for $20 from an on-line consignment shop. I've just never gotten around to sending them to Douglas to get them reconditioned. Other than that, I pretty much have the standard stuff. Team Wendy pads on my mask, I only have black and lt. blue jerseys, poly-wool pants, zig plate shoes, NB base shoes, conference hats, that's about it. @MidAmUmp - I knew you weren't trying to be one, I was just wondering.

@DVA7130 - Here is a link to a site where you can get Elbecos for $5.00 NEVERMIND, they don't have mediums. Just large and above. http://shop.isfsoftball.org/product.sc?productId=140

What kind of gear do you use? Like mask, chest protector, shins, etc. @MidAmUmp

Midwest did an article about comparing various mask pads. Has those ones in particular in the article. http://midwestump.blogspot.com/2011/02/review-and-comparison-of-umpire-mask.html Besides @Hollistupid nobody else knows ANYTHING about these MacGregor pads.
