Are you serious? 330 for a balloon chest protector? The state of the art ones aren't nearly that much. Is that a show off type thing or do people still actually use these? If you would I'm sure your not paying that price.

Watch out this is the new hot thing in Japan

If I had that much money to spend on anything related to umpiring I would buy a Plate Coat.

That's my listing on ebay.I just didn't offer it to you jacklegs 1st

If I'm spending $330 for a balloon it better be calling balls and strikes for me.

I seen this Japanese sports guys auctions the balloon for 300 is just nuts,  But take a look at these two other things for sale

It almost seems like they buy the stuff retail and then mark it up 200%.

 

Good luck with that!

I'm so tempted to get a balloon for those 9U-12U games where coaches love to put in F2's that play like they have never put on the gear before...

*winces* thanks for the reminder that those games are coming up in about three months time.

If I worked that age of baseball, I would no doubt wear the balloon.  For sure, no question about it.
