The reason I asked is because I seldom see the mask fly off or twist around. Might be a good theory in practice, but non-relevant in reality.

MLB can now concentrate on correcting the errors in the rule book.

Had my mask come off completely once. Never felt a thing but it was several feet away. Have had it twist several times. And this was with the little guys.

Much preferable to taking it straight on and being loopy for the rest of the game. Had that happen too.
