Is there any other sport in which high school and college teams play with equipment so substantially different and illegal in the pro version?

Had a game 2 years ago, AAU National Tournament @ Cooperstown. Pitcher took one in the head (I was in C) and I thought it killed him... The ball continued in flight to the outfield where the left fielder caught it. I reacted to the pitcher getting hit and killed the play (I really thought the worst). Happy to report that pitcher was ok (call it a miricle). One of the worst, and hopefully the last, plays I have been part of.

Pastordoug,

Did you call the out on the catch?
