I, and some others, gave good advice - wear an inside protector. Nothing more or less than your evaluator will give you, if you can get one to come out and watch after you tell him you use a raft. If you feel you need the extra protection the raft provides your evaluator will tell you to pick another sport.

Take a college age fast ball off your mask, or off your chest protector, or your bicep in the first inning of a double header and then complete both games and then you can come back and criticize the rest of us for being elitist (ie not rafters). A college catcher (I could say pitcher but it was the catcher that did not get a glove on the ball) broke my left pinky finger in the first inning of the first game I worked in 2005 and I worked two games that day, and I finally went to the doctor 2 days later. If I had a raft I would not have been hurt, and I would not have been working those games either.

And you asked, and received, the feedback you desired. You just don't like the answer.

"I could care less . . . "

That does not make sense. The correct cliche is: "I couldn't care less."

But I guess that would be elitist if I pointed that out.

Your punctuation is incorrect.
BTW the correct definition of elitist = prick

Ahh, so . . .

. . . articulate Ray-Ray . . .

You have now proven yourself for what you are . . .

You are certainly thinned skinned . . . and my punctuation is perfect for my writing style . . . but you wouldn't get that . . . why? . . . because it is elitist.

We now have a new base umpire for my all time internet umpire crew.

Regards,

I hope Ray takes you up on your most generous offer. I can think of no one better to help him with his education.
