Remember our discussion about calling the NO EAR flap helmet prohibited by FED rules a batting helmet?
Do you remember the old LL batting helmets that only protected 3 sides of your head?
Although correct, I do not use the term helmet/mask combo on the ballfield.
I would call that a picture of a new baseball catcher's helmet or, to be politically correct, a fastpitch softball catcher's helmet.
I wore a similar one when I was a 12 year old many many moons ago.
If a catcher's helmet becomes mandatory, I will comply.
If a HSM ever becomes mandatory, I will quit.
