Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Hi All,

Here is a quick question, which of course I hope is not a stupid one. Also, I hope I entered it in the correct Forum and if not if the Moderators could move it that would be ideal.

I'll preface it by saying I play Tennis and have a Tennis Specific Bag for my Racquets. The Bag is has Thermo Protection, much like you'd see in a Cooler.

Based on that mindset, meaning I am a Gear Fanatic, I was hoping to find a small Bag which I could Carry my Baseball Glove in. In it I'd also carry my Palmgard XTRA, a Wristband and a couple of Baseballs.

Might anyone know if such a Bag intended for that purpose exists?

Price aside I have found two Bags I am considering Buying, and I wanted to get some feedback on them.

The first of which I like, but it does not have any of the insulation that my Tennis Bag does. The second is not so much a Bag, but rather a Cooler, which I think my Glove would fit into.

The items and links are below...

2) Cincinnati Reds 12 Pack Cooler Bag from Kolder

Any and all feedback, on these items, or other ones you might know of, are more than Welcome.

Thanks as always,
John

I am assuming that you do not wish to carry the traditional batbag, with room for two to four bats, your spikes, two or three gloves, a bologna sandwich, and an extra Gatorade or two.

There are some smaller, backpack-style baseball-specific gear bags available through various baseball equipment outlets. I just did a quick check on baseballexpress.com and found several backpacks. These do have exterior sleeves for bats, but you could leave them empty. There is also a simple Under-Armour locker sack that might be the simplest solution.

Hi Cowboy,

Thanks for the reply, it is very much appreciated!

You are correct in saying that I am not looking for a Batbag. The main reason for that is that I do not Play Baseball as often these days and more often than not I Play Catch. So I figured it would be beneficial to have a small Bag for that specific purpose.

As far as buying a small Back Pack, that sounds like something I am going to look into further.

The challenge that I am having with that is that I am very specific in having things such as Brand Types match, so that pretty much would limit me to finding a Wilson Backpack to match my Wilson Baseball Glove.

And I might consider a Nike Bag, since I often wear than Brand, or maybe I can find a Cincinnati Reds Bags.

However it all works out, I figure and hope that with some luck I might be able to find something. And what I keep telling myself is that the good news is that it is something I'd like, albeit not absolutely need.

All My Best,
John

John,
You might take a look at the "sling" bags. The are really more like a backpack but with strings for straps. They are probably near the soccer section of the local sporting goods store. They are lightweight, inexpensive, numerous brands/styles and the perfect size for a glove and ball.
