Removing my mask with my right hand (20+ years of a catcher habit is hard to break)

I do that and won't change. I tried, not comfortable with it, not changing it. I'll take the ding and move on. If that is the biggest flaw in my game, I'll take it.

I did this for almost as long as I umpired.
My left hand is kinda screwed up so I use the right and switch it over.
When I went to the Advanced Camp and for ISF, nobody noticed it until they looked at films after the games.

My pet peeve is the ump, doesn't matter what position, that has to try and be a "pal" to the players.
You ain't out there to be there friend, just call the game without being overly officious.
