When someone who admits they have not tried an HSM, starts saying they don't like specific aspects of it, like; "It's too hot", or "It rings too loud when hit", is not speaking their opinion. They are merely repeating what someone else has said. Now, if they say they don't like the way it looks, OK, that is 'their' opinion. How many times did your parents make you taste something before they would listen to you whine about not liking it ? And for the record, I bet there are people out there who think Horse Poop tastes good (considering all the sicko's out there). Being someone who has actually tasted Horse Poop (bucked off into a pile of it as a kid), my expert opinion is that it tastes pretty bad !

Last summer, I suffered heat stroke during a game, in which the temperature was upward of 106 degrees with extremely high humidity. It was the hottest day on record for that date, and it was a miserable day. I feel that the intense heat inside my helmet contributed significantly to the problem which I suffered. I feel that if I had been using a traditional mask, that I could have continued, as my face and head would have been much cooler. As it was, the director and some concerned tournament personnel insisted on pulling me off the field in the last of the 5th inning, in fear for my health and safety. That is the reason I am switching back to a regular mask and hat the next time I work a ballgame. |

Because I didn't announce it to the world last year when it happened, that's why you didn't hear about it. I assure you that it did happen. You can ask Tim Haag is you need verification, as I did inform him after it happened. I didn't say that the helmet caused the heat exhaustion, just that it contributed to it. It was also the last game I worked last season, so you had better believe it affected me. Why is it that you can't just accept what people say, without having to refute it, or ask for hard evidence? Once again, poking your pinhead where it doesn't belong. Last edited by SanDiegoSteve; Thu Feb 08, 2007 at 05:14pm. |

PWL and SanDiego,
You are actually arguing over whether someone had a heat stoke/exhaustion? No wonder people have the opinion about umpires the way they do. MY GOD!!!! Peace

Loss of equilibrium, dizziness, strange behavior, disorientation, losing the count two or three times an inning, and unable to focus/concentrate on the game (which I was working solo, and hustling all over the field in those extreme conditions). I was well-hydrated, as I had brought several Gatorades, as well as a washrag soaking in ice cold water in my cooler. It was extremely hot that day. After removing me as umpire, a volunteer took over, and they forced me to stay in the snack bar with a fan blowing on me, and kept me drinking more Gatorade which they supplied. They would not let me leave and drive home for about an hour after I was removed. This was the first and only time I have ever had to be taken off the field due to heat, and only the third time I have been unable to finish a ball game. The other two occasions were due to extreme illness, and an injury. |

Steve misquoted himself, or even better yet had a misunderstanding of the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Either way it's really none of your concern. Although, I must say you did an excellent job of plagiarizng the article on heat stroke from Medicine.net. I'll bet they appreciated it when you failed to quote them as the source of your annoying diatribe. http://www.medicinenet.com/heat_stroke/article.htm Tim. |

Enough with the drama
Quote:
It was their idea to pull me from the game. I protested, and wanted to hang in there to finish the game, with only two and a half innings remaining. They were adamant that I did not look so good, so I finally gave in to their pressure. I did not feel that paramedics were necessary. They drove me from the field to the snack bar (located beyond the CF fence) in a golf cart. I took off my gear, and sat with a big fan blowing on me for about an hour. I was ready to leave after 20 minutes, but they insisted on keeping me longer. |
