Red Sox v Oakland 7/27
Anyone see the throat guard HPU was wearing in this game?
Check the highlight reel at about 30 seconds, here: Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | 07.27.09: Red Sox slam the A's - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia I've never seen this one. Maybe a custom but anyone know where you can get one? Just curious...

A retired hockey goalie?

I use a HSM, and wear a dangler....works good enough for me, but then to each his own....

And you probably haven't been hit with a bat in the side of the head like Kerwin Danley... yet...

I don't know what the intent of your post is.....I wear a HSM because of K. Danley....That's when I decided to buy one.....I love it!!!

I'd still wear some type of throat guard if I wore an HSM, too. F2 in Monday's game took a ball in the neck / throat. He was okay after a couple of minutes, but it would have been a non-event if he had a dangler. |

Duane Bobick could have used one too. Once he took a Ken Norton punch right in the adam's apple he was done for the night and so was his 38-0 record.

I am sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I belive that is Gary Cederstrom. He has had that mask/guard/Darth Vader look for about a year or so. It is just a typical hockey goalie throat guard, available at most sporting good stores (at least in MN the State of Hockey!).

Does the thing protect him? That is all that should matter. It looks no different than a helmet if you ask me. If those are accepted, I can live with this throat guard.
Peace
