We don't require the warming up pitcher to put a helmet on, do we? I'd argue that the warming up pitcher is in just as much danger, if not more, than a person standing there with a glove whose only job is to protect the catcher/pitcher from a batted ball.

MTD, I work in the same state you do, and a helmet is not required for players covering the kids warming up inside the fence. Rich is right here.
