Guess you can save on gear if you umpire on Saturdays and drive in NASCAR on Sundays.

Needs shock absorbers.

Was it brought here from Deep Space Nine?

sweet. if the red power ranger ever gets drafted, he's in business.

mbyron Thu Oct 09, 2008 06:48am

Great for umpiring during nuclear war.

CajunNewBlue Thu Oct 09, 2008 07:48am

so much for not being noticed during a game. pssst, the autobots (transformers) called, they want their leaders head back.

....and if you're a welder - DOUBLE DUTY!

Luke. I am your father.

maybe it's an upgrade for Satoshi-san... :D

(before you rip him, it's a mask for a different game in Japan. I think it's called "Nanshiki", or something like that.)

"Look sir! Droids!"

SethPDX Thu Oct 09, 2008 03:27pm

The discriminating umpire will marvel at how well the color matches his red shirts.

SanDiegoSteve Thu Oct 09, 2008 03:58pm

Wow! I'm coming out of retirement just to wear this sweet helmet!:rolleyes:

briancurtin Thu Oct 09, 2008 06:45pm

Might as well just wear a fire helmet with that type of shield, and an air mask to cover your face.

JJ Thu Oct 09, 2008 06:50pm

Yeah, but then you have to wear those darn tanks on your back....

How often do you need to change wiper blades ?

Kevin Finnerty Thu Oct 09, 2008 09:56pm

If it possibly could, it looks even more freaky in this shot. Good grief!

good one!:D

I do not think that I could work with a partner if he were wearing one of these! I would be too worried that my light saber would malfunction!

You can get a prescription for that now. If you get it on the internet from Canada, you don't need a prescription.

I wonder if the shield/visor is replaceable. A good foul crushing the plastic shield against the cage could crack or break it.

I wonder how long it will be before I see someone on the field with it.

Kevin Finnerty Fri Oct 10, 2008 02:20pm

I'll bet that catchers will wear it soon. It's polycarbonate, like a motorcycle windshield, which won't even crack from a rock or other debris at high speed. So I doubt that a deflected baseball would crack it. It would get scratched, perhaps, but it's essentially shatterproof, and I'm sure it's replaceable.

SethPDX Fri Oct 10, 2008 03:49pm

So they DO come in colors to match your shirts!

Welpe Fri Oct 10, 2008 03:56pm

We need a chart so that we know which color shirt, undershirt and ball bag to wear with each helmet.

That is a pretty funny comment

LomUmp Sat Oct 11, 2008 05:09pm

Hey all,

They look more like a virtual reality helmet.

Nigel Tufnel Sun Oct 12, 2008 09:25pm
