Well, I think it's a really cool invention, and I wish I would have thought of it myself. I plan on getting one for next season, because there are absolutely no dressing rooms or school bathrooms open for our use here. It's either the street or the parking lot, with all the lookie-loos and teenage girls running around while you're trying to get dressed. I only wish it came in a larger version, so I could put a chaise lounge and wetbar inside, then it would be perfect!

Steve,

Ooohhh...I LIKE IT!

Perhaps, "The Officals' Locker Room - Deluxe Edition".

You should be in product development.

I have had one since last season, and after showing it to a buddy who's a windsurfer (no joke), he bought one and uses it more frequently at the beach than I do on the umpiring circuit. It is a very useful unit.

The inventor has a lot more to gain than he has to lose. If stuff like the Umpire's Dressing Room and the Mask Hook don't sell, the innovators will get ridiculed by some, and complimented by others for trying something new. If they do sell, and possibly become a part of umpiring tradition for the next 100+ years, the inventors will make a fortune.

As far as changing facilities go, we will continue to be treated in sub-standard fashion, even at some colleges. So the Official's Locker Room has a place.

There will never, ever be a need for the Mask Hook.

Never.

Ever.

There must have been some need by someone. I'm sure some were asked if they would use it.
