The only time I wear my All Star helmet is when I'm working under one of those old clam shell type backstops. I've had a foul come straight down, and hit the metal button of my hat, and NEVER want to feel that pain again.

If the helmets didn't cover the ears, I'd guess the concussion rate wouldn't be as high. As they are, the blast goes directly into your ears, and that's a problem, IMO.
