Heres exactly what Joe wrote to me about the Riddell Power
"The Riddell protector is the pattern that is under my patent and the reason they aren't sold by Riddell is because they settled out of court with me rather than fight me for patent infringement.
They also paid me for every one that they sold. But that wasn't Riddell's fault.
One of their employers hadn't been honest with them and is no longer with them.
If you look at the West Vest Gold it is the same as the Riddell with a pad that is not sewn through like the Riddell.
Where the pad is sewn through weakens the protection of the pad."
As far as the Giants-Houston game, I was surprised because a few weeks before in Kansas City, he & Jim Wolf ejected Indians pitcher Jeremy Guthrie for hitting a Royal with a 1-2 count. I guess earlier in the game, that player stole second with a 6 run lead and Joe felt "the game was over." It was pretty ridicilous to say the least.
