Helmet v Mask

[Tim C]

Jim:

you squeak through on this one:

Physics would say that a foul ball is unaffected by the make up of the bat. A foul ball and a fair ball impart different stresses on the ball.

So I would say you missed this one.

On "helmet" use in MLB you just slipped in there:

There is a "net gain" of one umpire in helmet this season. There are two new wearing and one went back traditional.

Pretty good for an OSU fan.
