Chest Protector

[wpiced]

LDUB, I have used the +POS BB2000 for the passed three years and have take soom real shots with collage and semi-pro wood bat pitchers. I'm talkin' 80 mph fast balls. That's when you become a believer. One of my parters took a shot in the chest while wearing a "light weight, cool" vest and I saw him double over for five minutes. The bruise on his chest was probably the size of a soccer ball within two days.

On the other hand, I had three game series in Reno two weeks ago. Another one of my partners had a brand new BB2000. He said it seemed too heavy and was going to send it back. Unexpectedly, he had to do the plate. Wouldn't you know it, he took a shot in the left shoulder. I was U1 in the 'A' position and heard the crack like I was standing next to him. He didn't even flinch. He called ball four and stepped back and gave B1 first base.

Later, Paul said to me, "what a lesson. I would never send this life saver back."

True story. Take it for what it is worth.
