Cool

Garth,

Setting aside the mask vs. helmet question for the moment, why did you stop?

An umpire I respect has suggested to me that it takes "hundreds" of games behind the plate to establish a good strike zone. My limited experience has led me to believe that there is some wisdom behind that assertion.

I find that doing as I do helps me get focused, helps me establish a rhythm, and helps me get better positioned.

So, why did you stop? Am I doing something I really ought not?

JM
