Chest Protectors

[bob jenkins]

As always, we'll never resolve this until some engineers put some sort of "impact sensor" behind the various chest protectors and fire a ball (maybe even a "rising fastball") at them. Too, it depends on what the individual umpire values (would you trade an occasional bruise for more comfort every day?)

For me, the K1's comfort is worth feeling an occassional shot. And, any bruises so far haven't been visible (just "sore to the touch" the next day).
