Cool
Bob,

In FED, the combo in the picture would be illegal solely because the helmet does not cover the catcher's ears (assuming it had the NOCSAE stamp, of course). A similar combo that did cover the catcher's ears (with NOCSAE stamp) would be legal.

So, that begs the question, why was this combo allowed in this NCS 3A Semi-final game?????

The umpire probably read this forum, when I tried to point out that this type of "conventional mask" and "batting helmet" combination was illegal, and people argued with me about it. The umpire obviously agreed with them.

I looked at all the pictures and some were wearing jewelry and sitting outside the dugout. I suppose these guys didn't want to rock the boat and mess up future playoff assignments. I've seen it before and I'm sure I'll see it again.

Is this picture from a high school game? It looks like a Michigan State uniform. Is this helmet/mask combination legal in NCAA?
