more helmet stuff....

A few thoughts from my ASA Metro UIC on the helmet....

1) It brings to much attention on the umpire
2) ASA requires the plate umpire to wear a cap as part of the uniform, you can't wear the cap with the helmet.
3) When the helmet is new or shined, the reflection or glare could be distracting to the pitcher.

As you can probably tell, he is not in favor of allowing the helmet.

I have also heard that Southern California ASA has a written policy that will not allow their umpires to wear the helmet.
