I've had fun explaining my black eye to everyone at work. (One of my colleagues even declared a bounty on anyone who would take a picture of me.) Still, I got asked a lot, "don't you wear a mask?!"
Not in these parts, we don't. I tried it the game after I got nailed, and I didn't like it. Does anyone else wear masks for slow pitch?

Nope, never. And I credit never being hit to actually being down in a set position. All the umpires I have ever seen hit have been closer to standing upright and not dropping to a set.
Of course, now that I've said this.....................................
