There's a Facebook discussion going on in an umpire page that has me completely baffled! It's a photo of an enthusiastic umpire jumping in the air, ....it appears while calling a strike three. Someone commented on how stupid it looked (true) but also said, .... "no plate shoes, and only one ball bag, what level league is this?" And then the discussion/argument started. Higher levels of baseball should have plate umpires using 2 ball-bags .....was basically the gist ..... I'm leaving my opinion out for a while, but ..... what say you? Should you be wearing 2 ball-bags at higher levels? Does it matter? Go ........

Anyone with a pair of the older black +POS Ball Bags that has the logo on them looking to move them?

Just when I thought I may have actually succeeded in finding the ever elusive +POS Ball Bag, the deal fell through. So I thought I would give it another shot. Okay, here's a stretch. I am in search of a pair of black +POS ball bags with the +pos logo on the bag. I have used several other ballbags made by other manufactures but i always seem to fall back to the +POS bags. +Pos still has them on their website but unfortunately they also changed the thickness of the material. Thanks ....

How do you get dressed for a plate job? Post the order you get dressed in and any superstitions you may have as far as getting dressed (I.E. left/right shoe first) 1.) Compression shorts 2.) Nutty Buddy 3.) Under armor Jock (The one that comes with the nutty buddy I don't like as much as my under armor jock) 4.) Compression Tights (Runners Leggings, whatever you want to call them) 5.) COTTON black crew length socks (Cotton gives better grip to the ankle straps on shin guards to keep them from spinning) 6.) Honigs Poly Wool Plate Pants (Pants unzipped with inner retainer button fastened, outside fasteners undone until shirt is on) 7.) Reebok Field Magistrate Mid Cut Plate Shoes 8.) Boston Patent Leather Belt (leaving belt unbuckled until uniform shirt and chest protector are on) with Honigs Ball Bags (Left and Right Ball Bag) 9.) Honigs k2010-17 shin guards over the tongue of the plate shoes and obviously under my plate pants, ankle plates removed (And if you must know, I put my left shin guard on first, superstitious) 10.) Undershirt (Color of undershirt depending on color of uniform shirt i am wearing that day obviously) 11.) Wilson Gold Chest Protector/ Wilson Platinum Chest protector depending on my mood for the day (Both With Delta Flex Harness and "Peck Pads" removed on the gold) 12.) Uniform shirt 13.) Zip and fasten pants 14.) Buckle Belt 15.) Put plate brush in back right pocket (of my pants, can't stand digging in ball bags for anything but baseballs) 16.) Indicator in Front Left Pocket 17.) Pen in front right pocket (I've kept them in shirt pockets before, a couple foul balls and ruined shirts later I've learned to keep it in my pants pocket) 18.) Walk to field with Wilson Shock FX Titanium in left hand.

I have a pair for the Dry-Lo Ball Bags which I really like. They were black. But over time they are now getting to be a bit purplish. Has anyone ever tried to use fabric dye on ball bags. I am kinda leary that it could bleed through the pants. I just ordered 2 more Dry-lo bags but would like to keep the others for spare.
