Looking for 'short' inside protector...

[Bainer]

At one of our recent recertification camps, more than a few umps showed up with the same new chest protector- our Regional association has an 'official supplier', so we often get 'flavor of the month fads'.
They were all wearing this thing-



You talk about long...it looked like these things needed to be tucked into their pants!
The majority said they liked it, but complained that the throat area needed more padding to prevent plastic on skin scrapes.
The rest of us spent the weekend thinking of Robocop references to make fun of them with.

"What is the prime directive?"
"The accurate calling of balls and strikes."
