Only two things will cure this guy of such a habit. Either someone is going to have to injure themselves tripping over the discarded mask or a throw to the plate to cut down the winning run is going to have to hit it.
Other than the fact an umpire should NEVER discard any of their equipment (obviously, with intent), it sounds like this guy needs an ASA National School with Bernie Profato. I guarantee he will never drop that mask again after a weekend at Bernie's. (Bernie may be a SP umpire, but that won't stop him from getting a FP umpire to do it right).
