The men's fastpitch team I play for has a catcher- a very good one, at that- who wears only a mask and shin guards. And it's not for want of a chest protector that he goes unprotected. We have several available for team use.
I made the comment earlier in the season that I would never get behind the plate without my chest protector. Even gave the old, "It only takes one...", speech.
Last week he took a foul shot straight back into the old collar bone. SNAP! Bye-bye collar bone, bye-bye catcher and bye-bye rest of the season.
