What is wrong with this picture?
 

All, this is quite obvious. My question is, how do you let this happen?

I hate metal bats, too?

Seriously...I bet I will slap my forehead when you tell me but, I dunno

Check out the catcher's mask and headgear.

ahhhh, HS game in the title.......

picture #54, #93 as well

At least PU is smart enough to wear a throat guard!

93?

F2 is wearing a skull cap which is not allowed in NHFS ball.

Bob, De La Salle gets away with everything, you know that. ;)

My guess is just being inattentive.

I'm not sure what's wrong with 93 either...?

I have seen this locally as well, but I think I am the only umpire who enforces this rule. I have sent at least one catcher back to the dugout this year to get a helmet after he came out with a skull cap/mask setup on.

:o :o :o

#92

Thought so, I saw the same thing!

How bout "coach, do you verify your players are properly equipped"?

No throat protection either!

High school doesn't require a "dangler" on the mask, if that's what you mean.

Anybody got a problem with #42 & #43?

Only because some who work their games allow them to. I have noted in the past that certain things get overlooked. I have a major problem with safety rules that get ignored, and those who work these games should as well.
