My $0.02...
There is no NEED for the hook. It is a LAZY item, for LAZY people. (Note the use of people and not umpire.) I have never had a problem with getting dirt and chalk on my mask. It is always in 1 of 3 places: 1.) My gear bag, 2.) My head, 3.) My hand. Don't see why it needs to be anywhere else.
