[QUOTE=Bluefoot]For high school & middle school FP games, I was taught by my board to inspect each teams batting helmets prior to the game, and look for the NOSCAE label with proper facemask attached. I do this at every game, and some teams tell me that I'm the only umpire who asks to check them. Some have never heard of it.
Is every umpire supposed to do this? If so, do you do it?[/QUOTE]
Yes, every umpire is supposed to do it.
Yes, I do it every game. Even if it's a team I've done at a previous game.
Don't let the laziness or unprofessional behavior of other umpires affect what you do. Always present yourself in a professional manor and do the job you're supposed to do!
