How could having a better view hurt when calling pitches?
Is it easier to find the ball with my white cane?
I have never really considered getting one because I have not seen anyone around here use a HSM until this weekend. The umpire I worked with loved it and recommended I at least try one out.
It seems like a good investment. The only major downside I've really heard about are the pads. He suggested buying an extra set or two.
