Yeah right . . .
Get back to me in 15 to 20 years . . .
In the 60's we were told that all golf clubs would eventually have "fiber glass shafts" . . .
In the 50's we were told that with computers we would all work a 30 hour week . . .
As I noted in another thread:
Seeing Ed Hickox wearing a 7 stitch hat under his hockey helmet made me realize that the helmet can be worn and not look "dorky" . . .
I laugh when an internet umpire predicts the helmet will take over for the mask . . .
It ain't gonna happen UNLESS someone "organizes" umpires and has the final say over safety equipment.
Trust me . . . I work every day in construction and I know how hard change is for some.
"I think it is only a matter of time, before you see all or most of the umpires using the Helmet."
A safe statement since it actually means nothing.
Of course I would never wear a bicycle helmet either.
