You are right. No one else but Major League players could be hit in the head. I will keep that in mind the next time I see a high school player that throws in the 90s. One is playing on the Red Sox right now that I once had. Or better yet, I have never seen a college player throw that hard either.

Once again you have shown you either can't read or don't read. No where in my post do I suggest such a thing. I suggest that wood bats in the hands of HS players would not result in pitcher's getting drilled as often. Further I will suggest that if MLB players played with metal, pitchers would get drilled more often.

But only a semi-illiterate would come to the conclusion you did.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, Mr. Rutledge, but in your case, whether you use it or waste it, the result appears to be the same.

It is clear you cannot take a position without getting personal. This is very typical of a man that is not confident in merit of his position.

Secondly, this could happen to anyone if the ball is hit back at them and that is the point. And I am not the only one making this point or sees why this would only apply to aluminum bats. But then again, I guess all of us are stupid because we do not have "Mr." on the front of our name. And the only reason this happens I guess if I use your logic, is the speed of the ball coming off the bat. I guess every kid has equal ability to react to the ball coming back at them too. Or better yet, has the pitching mechanics to allow them to react appropriately. Then again, I forgot who I was talking to.

No, not all of you.

Good bye Mr. Rutledge, you will be keeping KF company on the ignore list.

LOL!!!!

Thanks for showing us all that your point of view is ignorant.

BTW, put me on your little list. If you were a man, you would not need a list to behave the way you want to. Just shows you are not that and never will be.

This is the URL for the FED rules survey:

2010 NFHS BASEBALL RULES QUESTIONNAIRE Survey

Or:

NFHS | NFHS 2010 Spring Sport Questionnaires

Along with all the other things in the survey, there are two questions of interest for this thread:

Part III- Would you be in favor of:

2. Mandating wood bats only for high school competition.
3. Mandating dual-flap batting helmets that meet the NOCSAE standard on all pitchers.

I am for wood bats, and against helmets, but with the way things are going in this country and it's drive for a no-risk world, it would not surprise me if the lawyers decided NFHS should mandate helmets with face masks for pitchers in the near future.

And if the chair of the FED rules committee is correct, as he stated in a recent post that "While high school baseball is one of the most safe team sports there is in high school, 80+% of what injuries they have are to the lower extremities (legs, knees, ankles) and 80+% of those injuries occur during sliding..." we will see some rule changes about that too.

BTW, one other part of the FED survey:

Would you be in favor of:

1. Eliminating the allowance of head first sliding.

ESPN running that play 400 times since it happened last weekend is not a good thing for the game...
