Thanks will do, with regards with the hat and the HSM, is there a standard? What are older umpires saying? I know two years ago I saw a pro umpire not wearing a hat with HSM and then I believe this year I saw one with a hat. I understand tradition and I'm all for it, but just umpires use to wear the raft in the 1940's & 1950's equipment changes. I just like it without the hat myself. I'll do what ever my association says. Thanks.
