I've always wondered why outs MUST be called with the right hand. If an umpire takes his mask off with his right hand and punches a runner with his left hand, what harm would it do, other than get traditionalist umpires' panties in a knot?
I'm left handed and have called outs with my right hand since I started umpiring since I was told "that's how you do it." I eject people with my left hand, though
