number 7 (i think) on sportscenter's "not top 10" plays was an umpire throwing a ball to the pitcher (lefty braves pitcher), but threw it nowhere near the pitcher so he had to jump off the mound to his glove side and still didnt even get it. this happened to me one of the first times i used my BB2000, and ever since then i have always handed the ball to the catcher while wearing this chest protector.
do you guys throw it back to the pitcher, or give the ball to the catcher? if the catcher is back against the backstop after a foul ball or something, ill throw it back to the pitcher but very carefully and have no problems. i used to not have this problem until the BB2000, but maybe its just me.
kind of a dorky subject but since this made the "not top 10" i figured it might be worth something.
