The pitcher luckily was only knocked unconscious and not killed. So you decide what you will, but as for me I will NEVER wear anything that even remotelly ressembles the color of the ball behind the plate!

Given how long most balls are used in youth games, I'd think white would be a contrasting color to wear -- certainly more so than the color of our skins -- especially when we get covered with the dust of the field on a hot day.
