OK, call me a minority of one, probably, but I sure miss the LONGER chest protectors. I'm 6'1" and have always hated the fact that the lower part of the CP's have vanished, to be replaced only by my gut. With my going to the Gerry Davis stance this year, I find my lower gut more vulnerable (it could just be my own paranoia, who knows?). I've taken a D-II and D-III pitches in the dirt that have ricocheted right back into my lower gut, and that doesn't tickle, I can tell you that much. Sure, the catchers were apologetic--schit happens--but my old, original black West Vest (I use the WV Platinum now) had a lower part that would have taken that blow.
