What does your doctor know about baseball officiating? How is a helmet safer than a mask?

Why do I need to see the entire field? I wear the mask when the pitch is coming towards me, and then I take it off when there is a play. Are you saying that sometimes you don't take off the helmet on fly balls????

You wear one of these things?
Having that on your head is a good reason to not take off you helmet.

Why would you not take off the helmet sometimes?
