"So now on this clip you see the chest protector. This will protect your stomach, your chest, your shoulders, believe it or not you get hit with a ball with this it still hurts, but that is what we get paid for. A little pain never hurt anybody. As you can see I put the chest protector under my shirt. First of all it looks better, keeps everything intact, nothing can get underneath it so that is why we do it that way, put the hat on and go this way and put the mask on this way and this protects your throat. If the ball would come up and hit you square on the throat it could kill you. Believe it or not even in a little league game you could get killed so always protect yourself when you are umpiring. Now we are ready to play ball!"
