But you don't need all that. Just a good cup will do.
Can't say I agree with that, necessarily. When I do slow pitch I reach up and remove my mask just like BretMan did, only thing is, my mask is still there. About 15 years ago I was working some SP games, saw a friend take a foul shot right to the mouth and nose, breaking his nose and causing him to lose several teeth. Blood was all over the place. I decided right then and there, that since I own the mask I might as well wear it. Yeah....I hear some crap from the other umps and players, but if I ever need it, who will have the last laugh then?
