The first picture is not outlawed by the rules. The NF Rules only state that the players have to wear a helmet if they are a catcher. The second picture is a combo mask helmet which in no way is required by the rules to be used as stated by UmpireBob.
Is there anything else you are having a hard time figuring out? |
Yes, I am having a hard time figuring out why you talk down to people the way you do.
The traditional mask you are showing is a regular mask, which is not allowed for high school baseball, because it does not attach to an approved, dual earflap helmet (skull caps and/or batting helmets are not legal).
I quoted you the rule you wanted, but you still insist that regular catcher's masks are still legal in high school, and they have not been for several years now. The casebook reference I gave says it all. They are speaking of traditional mask/old style batting helmets (a.k.a. skull caps) which are no longer allowed.
I've got it, why don't you show me one of these traditional masks on a player, along with the NFHS approved helmet that is required? Good luck finding that.
