 But, Tee, that is changing. Today, I watched an umpire absolutely butcher ... his body. He was using the scissors. He was also wearing a hockey helmet. He was also watching the Braves beat the Lastros, 16-0. Lah, me!

No hat here.  Hockey mask.  No problems working playoffs either.  There are a number of officials wearing them around here now.  The numbers are growing as people love the view and protection.  I wore a mask one time after using the helmet for quite a while.  My strike zone suffered.  View was too obscured.  Also felt like I had to move my head to see the pitch all the way in.  I understand they (Underarmor??) are making a hat for us helmet heads.  Might check that out.
