Facebook discussion: 1 or 2 ball bags

[Tksjewelry]

Depends on how many are clean in my trunk sometimes. I try to wear two for tournaments so we can get 6 balls, but I usually wear one for regular games. Towards the end of the season my pants get too big so I try to keep as few balls as possible in my bag, my pants start to fall down if I'm dragging around 4 or 6 balls for fall ball.

I use 2 ball bags. One is used to carry my coefficient of restitution meter.
FYI,  For Fed games your meter reading shall not exceed .555.

I wear 1, in our High School games, baseballs are at a premium, lucky if you get 4 to start a game, usually only 3, so I use the Ump Attire XL, keep my pen, indicator and brush in there, plenty of room for me........

Always worn 2. Just prefer the way it looks. Balances me out

I wear 2 because I like the balanced look and I always have at least 4 baseballs and that would look strange shoved into 1 bag.  I don't care what others wear - personal preference. However... I draw the line when I'm PU, and my partner wants to wear one in the field.  Ummm... NO!  That happened last year in a JV game.

Darren hasn't learned that by now?

I like having two.

@ZebraStripes, that's funny right there!  I don't care who you are!  hahaha

Just purchased a second navy and black bag. I've always used one, and in two games late last season, I had coaches come out and hand be 3 or four baseballs each. I was running with my hand over the bag because I was afraid they were going to fall out allover the infield as I ran. Never want that feeling again. I'll have 2 bags from now on.

This year I may switch to two. One in the center of my back and one hanging down in the front like some sort of umpire loin cloth.

Supplemental groin protection while preserving symmetry.

I bought a matching pair of the ump-attire XL's at the end of last season. Everybody tells me once I go with two, I'll never go back to one. We shall see in about a month when baseball season starts in Kansas.

Personally ,I have never worn two ball bags before, so I am more comfortable with just one, and I do not like the look of two ball bags, I think it looks bad when running around and such. And at a high level a baseball, that is why they have ball boys! I do not mind asking for more baseballs. I personally like 4 in the bag in 1 on the rubber. But there isnt a right or wrong answer. whatever you want to do and what you are comfortable with. My college association said it looks very unprofessional to only use one but I've talked to some high level guys who think opposite   personal preference.
