You know it is hot when you pull your chest protector away from your body and the heat flows out like a furnace.
I've felt woozy behind the plate in the summer but have never really gotten ill. I don't work these four and five game dates any more (at 58, I don't think I need to) so maybe that helps.
I always have my gallon cooler of water near one of the dugouts and hit it every inning when it is hot.
