You have more dexterity than me. If I had any athletic gifts, I'd be using them. I usually wear out a mask every three years anyway (they get beat to hell, bent, vinyl cracked, etc.).
I also realize that to ump that game, I have to do what they tell me. Their field- their rules. A poster up a ways from this post said something to the effect of you have to do what they do to make it in the college game. I'm not sure I agree. On the MLB level, you see all kinds of dreadful mechanics/plate stances/etc. I think the more accurate statement is that to make it in the college game you have to do what they TELL you.
Strikes and outs!
