I was told from the very beginning when I started umping about the 2" thing. It was to be able to remove your mask quickly, and not pull your hat off everytime. Concussions were never mentioned. Seems like this was the norm way before 2010.
The reason I asked is because I seldom see the mask fly off or twist around. Might be a good theory in practice, but non-relevant in reality.
MLB can now concentrate on correcting the errors in the rule book.
