I have been thinking about this for a year or so when I kept seeing umpires out on the field dodge bullets(hit balls) on a constant basis.As we already know MLB has forced the 1st and 3rd base coachs to wear helmets to protect them ever since the minor league coach tragicly died.My question is should the umpires that our on the field wear helmets? I myself think they should b/c we already seen what could happen to a coach if he gets hit in the head in the wrong spot and that could easily happen to a umpire.Yes it might be a long shot for a ump to get hit in the head by a line drive BUT it could happen and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
