Oh, and mark the Zigs up unless they're in bad condition.  $30 is giving them away. Good condition could easily fetch you $75 or more.  Those aren't made anymore and getting very hard to find in any condition now.

Agreed. The nubs look to be worn down. But the rest of it looks to be well loved. Those could fetch AT LEAST that $75 mark... probably more.

Thank you for the well wishes. In 2007 I had a complete rupture of C5 and C6. My neurologist repaired both with a fabric stay in place cast if you will, and the voids grew back 100%. Several years later arthritis attacked and had to have a second surgery to clean it all out. 3 years ago due to high pain, I umped just a few games a year while taking over as umpire trainer, manager, and league assistant. basicly I train and control our umps and the league president and i observe all games and keep knuckleheaded coaches under control and off our umps. Any complaints are addressed with us not the umps. Now arthritis has caused major disc degeneration from C2 all the way to C7.   I am having another surgery around thanksgiving to fuse C4,C5,C6 together with steel plates. There is a very real possibility that come next spring that he will have to go in and place a steel rod in the back of my neck from C2 thru C7. I am not currently ok with this. I have asked my doctor to find  a way to allow me to still go play golf and not to have severely limited movement. Just sold my motorcycle as well, the riding days are over as well.

Outside heel edge are the only areas showing to be worn, the rest have life left. I do and have always taken good care of my equipment. At least weekly cleanings of equipment or more. Equipment bag never left my vehicle. Only touched the ground from the house to my truck in the driveway.

Glad to hear things are slow and easy 😂

Thanks. Its huge to have a league president that has a zero tolerance mindset.  In a preseason meeting he laid out expectations, the process to voice your complaints, and punishment if you get out of line. When the umpire mistakes are made, I can teach and correct the error one on one with limited hostility on the field.  So far the last few years have been good and in a time that its hard to find umpires, we had a 90% return rate for the second year.

I've had 4 procedures on my lower back in the last 8 years.  Cut down on the length of my travel because driving for great distances kills my back.  Trying to lose some weight so I can up my driving distance up to 125 miles to be able to work some higher level college ball that uses 3 umpire crews. And the Cardinals just won so all is right in the world.

@umpstu, MAn I hate to hear that. I wish you the best on the weight loss, that and exercise is key. I am at 190 now and I want to break 180. If you still remember your PT exercises continue to do those as well, it really helps me out along with an occasional ice bag and some prescription strength Tylonol. I stay away from the addictive stuff, I don't want it.
