I've got an umpire buddy that has well over 20 years of baseball officiating - he's very good. Last year he quit taking his mask off.... period. He will leave it on between innings.

It's funny to see him with it on and nothing happening but it is also interesting to note that even after that many years he is still working to improve and changing little things so he can work a better game. We don't start till next week, if the weather clears, and it will be interesting to see what he will work-on this season. Maybe I can convince him to forego his idotclickermabob . Perhaps his mask will come off again.
