Above is from Dictionary.com for shag.

I prefer Austin Power's definition of "shag".
To "shag": (verb)...well, never mind...
Over on the baseball side, FED added a rule last year that said the "protector" (player protecting the pitcher while warming up in an area not fenced off from the playing field) was mandatory.
While the actual rule requiring a "protector" reads that the player must wear a glove, there is no mention of a helmet. However, the pre-season interpretive literature noted that a helmet must be worn, as an extension of the usual helmet rules.
There is a "Point of Emphasis" in their rule book this year about the protector also wearing a helmet.
I would apply the same standard on the softball field.
