I think those are required next year in Minor League ball.

They may make it to MLB soon too.

If you took a 94 MPH fastball to the head you would sport one of these to.

 

[KLARNOLD]

I was thinking of Gazoo too:

If you took a 94 MPH fastball to the head you would sport one of these to.

....and if you ever saw a kid take one in the head at any speed you would go with a face shield too.

Scary to think the damage a fastball to the head can inflict....

 

[Halonut]

reminds me of mark kelso...

 

[cbrandtw]

No one made fun of John Olerud for wearing different headgear. The guy is trying to save his career or possibly his life.

 

[brouthercard]

Made my evening Mox. :lol:

This made me crack up!!!!!! I just kept on thinking about the quote,"I bet she gives good helmet." :lol: :lol:

 

[ballcardzdotcom]

Yeah...one more 90+ MPH pitch to the head, and he might've been done. If I was making the money he is making and has the potential to make, I'd wear whatever PPE I had to wear to continue doing so. (PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment for those of you who were unfamiliar)

 

[ThoseBackPages]

hes got BOTH ear flaps now, making the damn this LARGER! LOL

 

[MattinglyAlexander]

Lord Dark Helmet!!!

:lol: That's funny and all, but they need to make them mandatory... especially if they put little respirators on them...just for the effect.

 

[thenumberonemetfan]

The HOF asked the Mets if they could have it

 

[Y4NK335]

The Rawlings S100 will be required in the minors next season and big-league teams will be trying them out this season. The new helmet will supposedly resist pitches of 100-mph and is safer than the current models.

I have Spaceballs coming from Netflix today in Honor of David Wright.

 

[nborton]

I understand the reasoning, but why do they have to be so huge? The hockey style catchers masks aren't as big. If hockey goalies masks are strong enough to resist 100 MPH pucks, they should be able to make it a little more slim.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

It's gonna be great when little leagues mandate the wear of these helmets.

 

[thenumberonemetfan]

It's gonna be great when little leagues mandate the wear of these helmets.

and to make it worse they would have 2 ear flaps.

 

[gracecollector]

Well, jeez, someone had to do it...

 

[angelsrockies4ever]

He's not wearing it today. . .
