But I got to ask, "Where do I put my traditional mask and indicator when I point towards first base with my left hand?"

I suppose some of YOU don't even bother to remove your HSM to address an appeal. But us tougher gentleman refuse to shout through a mask. Do you suggest I now move it to my right hand?

NO, I think you're full of BS anyway. I will not even consider making a call with my left hand. I already made the trade to hold my indicator while taking off my mask with my left-hand. Now how the hell am I suppose to POINT, too?

I guess its only my problem though since everyone else is already pointing with their left hand. I must be DUMB and CLUMSY too.


You must make an awfully slow move to check
with your partner on a check-swing, if you
feel that you must remove your mask first. IF
I wore a HSM, all of my partners would know what
I was doing even if they couldn't hear the question.
I would have to say that you are right, it does seem
to be your problem. I'm left-handed, and I have
no problems with the way mechanics are done.
