Let me add my voice to those that wear all the gear, all the time....
When I first started out, I had some old timers tell me that it was macho to go without the chest protector, so I tried it. I found that I was more worried about not getting hit than in calling balls and strikes accurately.
I have also been told by a doctor that it only takes about 40 lbs of force to snap the collarbone...I don't know how much force the pitched or fouled ball has, but my guess is that it's a lot more than 40 lbs!
