The Umpire Mask Hook: "I'll take 2!"

[MrUmpire]

Any chance the mask holder comes from the same fine folks who brought us the Officials Locker Room?

I have to admit, there are some times where that thing would come in handy. But I agree, a bit cheesy.

Might be cheesy, and I don't have one, but it looks a whole lot better than some of my partners who feel it necessary to change behind the back of the car, showing the world (women and children) how sharp they look in their compression shorts, etc. I am VERY embarrassed when they do that....Why can't they change between their open passenger and driver doors? Some sense of decency please!!!

Well there are many areas that have parks where umpire dressing rooms are nothing but a pipe dream. Some people don't feel comfortable stripping down in the parking lot.

There are much worse inventions out there.

I'm sure the one armed ( Left - by the way...) umpire who uses the mask holder in our organization sure appreciates the kind comments posted above.....................

This is the demographic that they should be targeting with their advertising, and gear the sales pitch in that direction as well.

Huh?

You'll have to show me the comments that a one armed umpire would find offensive. I don't see any.

Every time I see that picture of the ULR I wonder what the guy is doing in there.

It would have looked better to have his hands visible, eh?

Here's 5 of them........................

1.
"OK, this has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever seen!"

2.
"Someone here's gonna buy this. You just know it."

3.
"And, when did a mask become so heavy that the umpire can't carry it in his hand?"

4.
"Nothing says you're the biggest pu$$y on the field than when you wear this for all to see. Buy two for each side and we'll throw in a leather ball bag for free"

5.
"pretty much sums it up. "tool""

YGTBSM!!! Are you for real? I really doubt that any paraplegic would find anything offensive by these remarks. Not one comment was directed at people with only one arm. Do you think Jim Abbott made it in the majors being that sensitive to what people say? I think you are underestimating your colleague in this case. Ask him if he is offended. I'm sure he will tell you that he's not offended in the least.

You missed the point. You are correct, in reality he would not be offended at all. The poin is all the bashing of the product is unfounded. It has its uses. I personally would not use it, but he sure is glad it was invented.

These could be offensive to the inventor, but that wasn't your point or mine. I'm still waiting for a post that is offensive to a one armed umpire.

My dad's a wise, old guy. He's also as accepting and as tolerant and as emancipated as any man I ever knew.

But even he has a point where he can't stand when political correctness goes to the extreme. To those who are offended by things that reasonable people deem inoffensive, he says, "I suggest you never leave the house."
