$10 for a hook on a rope plus $3 for shipping? Geez. Just say send me $10 for absolutely nothing and then I'll spend the other $3 to do this myself. And, when did a mask become so heavy that the umpire can't carry it in his hand?

The Official's locker Room has to be the greatest umpire invention ever developed!!! Has this been brought up on the message boards before? HA HA

What blew my mind about this stupid thing is that Referee magazine actually featured it as a new "tool of the trade".

Every plate umpire has the same problem with their mask. There is just no getting around it. When you are walking from the dressing room to the field, the pre-game conference, or between innings you stick your mask under your arm just so you can have both hands free.
Your mask throughout the game will gather dirt and sometimes field chalk, and keeping it under your arm frequently will cause it to stain your shirt, and it is also very uncomfortable. The Umpire Hook will hold your mask to your side and is easy to hook and unhook. Not only is it comfortable but it also looks professional, and keeps your hands free. What a crock. This guy must write speeches for Obama. He should have wrote; Nothing says you're the biggest pu$$y on the field than when you wear this for all to see. Buy two for each side and we'll throw in a leather ball bag for free!

No.............. I did not invent the Umpire Hook. When I do a plate job it is always in the back of my mind the thought of staining my underarms with chalk and dirt.... still, I manage to go on...
