  1. Tried it. HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. I sanded the back of the helmet and then applied some pine tar. Seems to be working, but the helmet itself seems to be kind of large. I wear a 7 3/4 hat and the L/XL helmet seems to slip around.
  3. All Star makes a great tan leather pad set that I use. Love them.
  4. How are the soles
  5. Just received the new model skull cap from All Star and it fits fine was wondering if anybody was having an issue with their mask harness not staying in place since the skully is a smooth finish? The cap itself looks much better than the previous cap, IMO.
  6. I was in the Navy for 20 years and never saw a single ball cap with a crease. I like to crease my umpire hats and it has nothing to do with my Navy service. Just think it looks sharp. And I don't shine any of my shoes. Maybe the soles on the plate shoes. I like white on my base shoes. I saw a comment on this site by somebody claiming that military personnel only like all black shoes. Not true. You do you.
  7. The Gerry Davis patent leather plate shoes were the bomb. Gashed easy though.
  8. I Google Amazon Japanese web site and order from that
  9. SSK pants are outstanding. Also really like their ball bags. I loved the McDavid tights, especially the floating cup holder. Always held the boys in place.
  10. Agree on the plate brush
  11. 1.Agree 2.Agree 3.Agree 4.Those were the best plate shoes ever 5.Really like the Japanese style belts that are out now. 6.I also use an oversized indicator, 3 dials with only 3 balls, 2 strikes and 2 outs. And I mean OVERSIZED.
  12. Just ordered some. Hopefully sizing up as recommended will make them wide enough to keep.
  13. I do the washer thing periodically. Also scrub the white sole after each day of a game. Use dish washing soap and a nylon scrub brush. I use NB, Mizuno and Brooks shoes. I always use Brooks for my daily exercising walks. Really like them.
  14. Be nice if they could be available in wider widths?
  15. Are there any shirts with two long sleeves or just single sleeves by themselves?
  16. Well, the captain part sounds like stolen valor to me. As does the rest of his game and resume.
  17. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7. Had a Fitbit before this and it was good as well.
  18. That color scheme is nice.
  19. I wear a Samsung Galaxy watch so I can track my steps. If they see me taking a peek and want to know why, I'll tell them how many steps I have for the day and how many more steps to hit my goal.
  20. Gotta say thanks for the info and your great article. Appreciated.
  21. Timing can be too quick, even in this age of ABS. I have worked with umpires who have called the pitch prior to it getting to the plate, much less to the glove. Love your articles.
  22. Love my Mag
  23. I'm with you on this.
