This is a very valid point for umpires to be aware of. Both for the catcher and the home plate umpire. A dear friend works for a call center and recently fielded a call from a baseball mother. Her child (catcher) has taken two foul balls off his mask. Later that night he started getting severe headaches. Wanted to know if she should be concerned. If the catcher takes a shot have the manager check that player out. Take a minute and make sure that player is aware . And this is true of umpires as well. Several years ago I took a shot that put me on my butt. I was not knocked out but I thought I was Batman for a few seconds. And, for a few days after this happened I was having some nasty headaches. Later, I was told this was a good example of a concussion. Just saying, something to keep in mind when you are out there..
