I have heard of SP umpires that wear a mask, but not very many. In fact I could count them on one hand and have fingers left over.
I would think that you may get some grief and a lack of respect from some, if not most of the testosterone fueled SP players out there and that may make it a bit more difficult to umpire the game, but if you feel more protected and confident wearing a mask, go for it.
