[Jim Porter]

I knew one guy that regularly placed his arms behind his back in his plate stance. He worked a lot of high school, legion, and adult amateur ball. The only problem was, he didn't have a proper chest protector. It was one of those cheap compacted foam things with the plastic shoulder pads. So, his arms were fully protected behind his back and safe from any sharply fouled balls. His collarbone, however, splintered. It ended his season. He's back this year, though, with a West Vest.
