When a play evolves where it appears there will be a play at the plate, the catcher needs to make a basic decision. Mask on or off?
Actually the answer to this question basically lies in the league that you are playing in.
In amateur baseball where the player approaching home plate is required to slide, I see absolutely no reason why the mask should remain on. It seems so natural to remove the mask and field a ball with ones vision unimpaired.
However, if you're playing professional baseball you learn quickly to leave your catcher's mask on.
I have two fake teeth as a testimony for understanding this principle.
