I have been reading some threads that mention that umpires don't need to take off the helmets when running or making their calls. I don't agree with this mechanic.
I may not get my helmet off on a hot-shot down the line, but in all other situations, I remove my helmet with my left hand, just like a mask, and make all my calls with the helmet in my left hand.
I think running around with the helmet on does look unprofessional, just as keeping a mask on would. It is the reason that someone mentioned that it looked like a bobble head doll, because of all the bobbing up and down running with it on would cause.
There is no reason not to remove the helmet, just as you would a conventional mask.
