Game ending banger at first in an elimination game at a State tournament last year..........losing coach is pissed and tells me I need glasses.......I told him......."How original coach.......and, what do you think these are?"...pointing to my glasses.......

Actually......I could not umpire without them (or contacts)...........I quit wearing contacts in games just a couple of weeks after I got them.

In a game last year, I was PU and the catcher after fielding a ball in the dirt called a high & tight fastball.......I caught a facefull of dirt and I had to stop the game.....take my contacts out and go back to glasses.........

I have worn the contacts on and off for the last year.......and like them better sometimes...........but calling a plate game is not one of them.
