Yes -- and I realize I was unclear on my earlier response.
When I said I "don't bother" with the helmets, I meant I didnt' mark them to see if they came into the game later.
I do check the helmets, tell the coach about any that I find that are illegal (usually cracked or missing padding), and put them aside. If the kids wear them up to the plate and I notice, I make them change. Since that's the only penalty, I don't bother to see if it was one of the helmets I earlier identified. Now, if it happens again ...
