When I first started umpiring, I wore my mask too tight as well. I would take a shot in the mask and it would stay perfectly positioned on my face.
One day, I took a wicked foul ball square to the middle of the mask, and I was seeing stars!
There I am, behind the dish, down on 1 knee, and my partner (a veteran) comes to check on me.
"You okay?", says he.
"I dunno.", says I.
"Loosen you @*%#ing straps!", says he.
I wish I saw this thread before getting hit by that one, I'm sure it would've helped.
Amazing. A $90 mask protects you properly only when worn properly.
