Saved your life? Really? Arent' you being just a tad melodramatic with that claim? I mean, how many umpires are out there who don't use danglers, who make it through their games - several times each season - without being killed by getting hit in the throat with a baseball?
I think it's a fairly large number. On the other hand, how many umpires are winding up in the morgue because they didn't wear a dangler?
So far, on these boards as long as these debates have been raging, the answer is zero.
I don't begrudge your wearing a dangler. I don't begrudge you wearing a belt with your suspenders. I do object to inaccurate, melodramatic life-or-death claims when there is virtually no substantiation for them.
