I know a couple of guys that dont wear chest protectors and claim they have never been hurt, but not something I am ever going to do. I have taken 2 directly on the collar bone that certainly would have broken it if not for the chest protector.

When my daughter played JR high ball, they had an old guy show up to ump that didnt wear any gear at all, including a face mask. When the coach questioned him his response was, "non of these girls can throw hard enough to hurt you."
