103.9Need Source for Catching EquipmentPOWDML::SELIGWed Apr 02 1997 19:5113
    As the original basenoter, my eight year old is now fifteen years old
    and playing high school baseball. He want's to purchase his own
    catching equipment (chest protector, skull cap, mask, shin guards). 
    Any suggestions on where in the greater Maynard or Worcester areas to
    shop for decent equipment (Rawlings??). I've checked MVP and Sports
    Authority but their selection has been limited.
    
    My son is 6'2" and ~195 lbs so he is definately looking at adult sized
    equipment.  
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Jonathan

    I bought some pretty decent stuff at Spag's Sports store last year, it
    was Rawlings, adult catcher's gear (baseball).  The selection was
    limited, but I believe the price was better than at MVP Sports, Sports
    Authority, etc.

103.14I would try Gibney'sFRSBEE::GROVESThu Apr 03 1997 16:433
    
    I would give Gibney's a call... If they don't have it in stock, they
    can order it. It doesn't usually take that long.
103.15POWDML::SELIGMon Apr 07 1997 18:3912
    Thanks for the input.....I had already tried Spags, they had no adult
    sizes in stock; cleaned out by local school teams.
    
    Called Gibney's and he didn't sound promising on the chest protector.
    The problem is that my son is 6'2" and needs a larger than average size
    chest protector to give him shoulder coverage. Gibney's said that most
    catcher's are going to smaller and hence lighter gear so finding a
    "tall" chest protector would be a challenge.
    
    Keep the suggesions coming.
