Jack:
What is the penalty if I do not wear a mask with a throat guard?
The mandate was from the national insurer of sports officials.
As I noted:
There is no current plan to require HSM for umpires. There is no data to show that they are, indeed, more safe than a mask.
There would have to be a long term study of the use of the HSM and how it affects neck and back injuries over a long period of time before implimentation.
I would suggest that the scissors stance would be outlawed before an HSM requirement.
I would think we will see mandatory helmets with masks on DEFENSIVE players before any direction to umpires.
Regards,
