Doug Eddings Throat Guard?
Twins @ Brewers (6/23)

Is he wearing that properly? It seems a bit high...either that or I'm wearing mine wrong?

Crap, I thought there was a new throat guard on the market.

I'm sure he has a reason for it. One would think that if a ball stuck the protector that low, it would really act like a lever, and snap back against your noggin.

I'd rather have mine dangling behind the lower rung. (insert joke here)

His mask did not have a "Wilson" logo so he added the "dangler" which is not dangling. Otherwise, he should have found a welder.

That looks like the old +POS, fat tubed, aluminum frame, with Wilson pads.

Nothing said about him wearing sunglasses. I have done it in certain conditions so don't have a problem, but have heard others who say never...

Sunglasses make it look like you don't need a prescription. I just wear the goggle eyes.

I know guys who fasten their throat guards up that high. They don't dangle around that way.

I wear sunglasses on really sunny days. If I don't I end up squinting really bad, which I can't stand.

Someone will, just wait.

Others will object to his combo hat.

Still others won't like the sunshade in his mask.

A few may take excepting to him saluting Hitler, but surprisingly less than those who object to his sunglasses.

I didn't notice the combo hat, not that it matters, but if you do wear the 8 stitch I can't see what a sunshade will do for you.

If I need sunglasses I wear sunglasses. If someone tells me I can't, I go away and don't work. Life's too short to be told to squint.

It keeps the sun off the bill of your lid. Sort of like the contraption you put on the dash of your car to deflect the sun off the windshield. That works, doesn't it?

It works, but you still can't drive with the sunscreen in place.

Don't bet on that, especially in CA.!
