Olympic plate

[Dakota]

I know this is probably old stuff to those of you who were able to watch some of the Olympic softball games, but since I'm cable and satellite deprived (or is it depraved...)...

I was browsing around the Cactus Umpires web site and I clicked on the link with pictures of "Marty at the Olympics."

Here is a pic of her behind the plate:

Question: how difficult does the camera, etc., on the mask make it to actually do your job? How about removing the mask? How about the weight? Just wondering.
