I am kind of a mechanics freak. However, I was at a high level high school game last night that the plate umpire wore no shin guards, no plate(steel toe) shoes and a beanie cap. He sometimes worked on the outside shoulder of the catcher and to be honest with you did a great job.

The teams really just want the umpires to get the calls right.

Dakota, you still wearing the beanie cap?
