Pre-game check of equipment is my pet peve. The NCAA finally stopped this a couple of years ago and I thought that the FED would follow suit. Personally, I don't like going into the dugouts and how are we sure that we checked all of the helmets? What if Johhny forgot to pull out his helmet from his bag and it is cracked or not approved. Johnny takes a pitch the head and you know the rest.

NCAA put the onus on the coaches and the schools where it belongs. We as umpires should not be checking the equipment before the game.
