Gentlemen,
After a post about the ancient Honigs lighted clock indicator, it got me to thinking about the great fails in umpire equipment, be they good ideas gone bad, failed products that didn't work, or Monster errors by Equipment makers. Here are a few to start, please add to the list:
1. Honig's black leather ball bags: cheap leather, butt of jokes all over the internet.
2. Hook to hang mask off your belt.
3. Reach chest protectors, circa 1985, designed by Randy Marsh, and made by the wrong manufacturer.
4. +POS Accessory Bag, a tine blue nylon bag to put opposite your ball bag to put your brush, indicator, pencil, or something else, circa 1983 or 4.
Have at it
