Taking off the mask

What "hand" are you, and when you first learned to take off your umpire's mask, was it easy for you to take the mask off with your left hand?

I'm right-handed, or at least I think I am. At least I've always been raised right-handed, but I sometimes wonder. Everything else about me is left-side dominant: I listen to the phone with my left ear, I dropkick a soccer ball with my left foot, I used to skateboard like a "lefty," I'm left eye dominant when I go shooting, I even drive with only my left hand on the wheel.

But I'm right-handed. And for me, it's much more natural to take off my mask with my left hand than with my right. Trying to take off my mask with my right hand seems... Weird.

Just a random thought I had this morning when getting ready for work...

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
