special equipment for umpires
With the new head gear for the arena league umpires, I found myself wondering if I need to get special protective equipment for next season.
I've been a BJ and line official since I started 6 years ago. I've never worked as an umpire on Friday night. I find myself the umpire on my crew next season. I'm not used to being in the mix...typically I have lots of room and time to avoid contact. Thi is going to be different when I'm the big ugly in the middle. How many umpires wear special equipment like steel toe cleates or preventative knee braces?
