Willie and his Glasses

[charliej47]

I informed the assignor/UIC that I would wear what I thought as neccessary to do the game. The one league that banned the HSM, I did not work for for 3 years till they changed their policy. The one association that wanted no glasses wanted everyone to wear contacts. I did not work for them for 4 years.

Did you read what he said?? He says he wears full gear behind the plate and gets dinged for overdressing. Sounds like to me they want him to go without gear. Not a real big leap, unless you consider a normal step to be a big leap.

Amazing how some people miss the "Quote" button. He's definitely an umpire! Maybe he should appeal to his partner.

Oh crap, I've been around too many coaches, haven't I?

yeah maybe the only thing that could follow that is the opposing coach yelling at his partner...."He wont learn to get it right if you keep giving him all the answers"

I used to think that HSM referred to the one piece with the "plastic" fully covered facial area. Is there such a thing?
The one with bars/cage like the photo above, I think of as a catcher's style mask and might be an advantage for foul balls off the backstop.
Now I know that the helmet-like top of head covering is called HSM, even though I don't watch enough hockey to know, and is taboo for some.
Or, am I still confused?
Is there any acceptable "mask" with a top of the head protector?
