Right now, only my shin guards, a pitcher's plate and home plate. My Catalyst was, but I went to an eye appointment and anything good would be gone, by the time I got back.

I knew you had mad skills but now I am really impressed. Shin guards but no glove. Catching bare handed. I am impressed :).

I am not coaching right now, so this list is minimal....

Let's see if I can do this from memory:
* DD's backpack with bats, glove, helmet, batting gloves, cleats
* Bucket with Catchers mitt and 12 softballs inside
* 3 sweatshirts (2 with HS logo and 1 with no logo)
* 2 beach chairs
* 2 1/3 Cases of water
* clipboard with 2 scorebooks, mechanical pencil and red pen clipped to it
* Radar gun
* 2 large bags of sunflower seeds (1 opened and half empty)
* 6 pac of hand warmers
* recycle bag - half full of plastic bottles
* jumper cables
* Bag of Rags
* Rubber Tee

I drive a Kia Sorento and in summer I put one of the rear seats down and carry the large pop-up as well as the above.

Man I empty my truck nightly. My garage on the other hand looks like it puked softball equipment. Two car garage, needless to say only the wife parks her truck in there. I get to park outside as the equipment takes up the other side. Yea, we have another detached garage full of lawn equipment, golf cart, bikes etc. Designed for two car but still no room for my truck.

I do marvel how on tournament weekends my truck has that "lived in" look. I feel like it's hopeless to even clean it but I have to. Nothing like driving in a clean truck.

I know. I wonder where these guys live that can leave stuff in their vehicle.

Someone asked where my ball glove is. Not in the back of the truck.

Even in the cab isn't much safer, especially if a crook new me.

DD's ball bag used to have $1000.00 worth of stuff in it. I never lost site of it, at games.

The joy of a king cab half ton truck with a roll away locking bed cover. As long as it's all below the rails it's secure. The bags full of expesive gear live on back seat of the cab.

  • Six Jamaica plates
  • Shinguards
  • Swimming noodle
