About a month ago I bought the ChampPro chest protector from Ump-Attire and It's very comfortable, light weight, hard shell, moisture wicking material and offers a lot of protection. I went with the extender for more coverage in the stomach area. I have not been hit since I've had it, but it looks to be just as good as the West Vest for a lot cheaper price tag. I also bought the ChampPro legs guards and they extend above the knees. Great fit and great protection. We will see how it goes with fall ball.

I think that's great. Good luck.

Hello fellow umpires. I have been calling this wonderful game for over twenty years, I am a AAA high school umpire in the Eastern Virginia area. Unfortunately, I have missed almost all of the past two seasons due to circumstances beyond my control. In april, 2010, I had open heart surgery, which pretty much shut last season down. I worked hard to get into shape and fought with the doctors until I finally got the go-ahead to call some games this spring and my company sent me to South Korea. I am still here in Korea. But, I still love the game and am looking forward to next season.

Kyle, for good, quality shirts at a very reasonable choice try The Official's Choice. They have their own brand of dry-wicking shirt that is not quite Cliff Keen, but comparable.

Is this a balk?

Thanks to all who replied about the New Orleans tournament. I found a great group of umpires there, the Pelican State Baseball Umpires Association, and their efforts to help make the games fun and fast were greatly appreciated by the players, camp directors, and me. Thanks to Lloyd Guillot and his Pelican State umpires, and to Scott Green and Play At The Plate.org for another fantastic opportunity to umpire in a beautiful ballpark with players who, like the umpires, are there for the love of the game.

Calling all baseball umpires! I'm looking for three umpires to work a three-day tournament at Zephyr Field in New Orleans where the triple AAA Zephyrs play.

 

The dates are next Thursday, February 17th through Saturday, February 19th; I can book a decent hotel near the ballpark for less than fifty dollars a night per room, and payment for the three days will be in cash. It's an adult tournament with modified rules, so no stealing or leading off, etc., with two-hour time limits; a very easy assignment, and the players always appreciate the umpires' efforts.

 

The forecast for next weekend in New Orleans is upper sixties and sunny, so if you're ready to get out of the deep freeze like I am and go on a busman's holiday to the Big Easy, please contact me here on checkswing and I'll give you all the details. Transportation and expenses are NOT covered by the tournament, but lunch will be provided at the ballpark every day.

Goodmorning Mark,

Thanks for your advice, The most of the things you said, i know. I forgot to tell you all. The Umpires in holland are getting new umpire garment. Its going over in black like MLB. I all ready switched my blue stuff into the black. Only thing i didnt know whats underneath. Normaly with the blue ontop, we have the red shirt underneath.

This is great stuff to communicate like this, kind regard Brendan

This depends on the color they wear during the game. Usually all umpires will wear the same color undergarment. There are many kinds of undergarments including hot gear and cold gear. The plate umpire will usually wear what he feels will suit the color of the outer garment and work will with the weather conditions. If you want to wear what the MLB umps wear get out your wallet and buy a very large garment bag!!!!!!!!!!
