I guess you don't read so good, as my comments about those who try the helmet and kept with it had in it why I belived it was so, but then again how would you possibly see that with all that sand in your face. You simply proved my thinking that although I have never heard anyone that uses the helmet say that it is the only way anyone should go, I have heard the staunch conservative BIG DOG decree it so for the traditional mask.

The hockey vs. baseball had to do with an equipment change and a discussion on the evolution of the piece of equipment not a comparison of "the helmet being great for hockey = it is also great for baseball."

Also I have missed all your insulting little quips when people on here mention football or basketball, I thought this was a baseball forum, how dare anyone think that one sport could possibly learn from another sport - never never.

Now to the people reading for actual info, though I doubt may are left after this debacle of a topic, I use the Easton as well, I love it. I remove it on every play as I would if I had a regular mask. Although the vision is much better than a conventional mask, it is not as good as without a mask. It is the protection, and the vision out the corners of your eyes that make it a better choice for me.
