Protecting Pitchers.......

[Rattlehead]

Like most of the umpires out there I spent most of youth on various baseball/softball fields. I agree that maybe the picture should be wearing somekind of helmet, or facemask. But this opinion is reserved for FP. In Slow pitch I think that there should be suggestions as for protection but I don't believe that Rules should require protection for the pitchers.

As for Adults coming up to bat and saying "he is going to "buzz the tower" to protect his guy?"

I believe that I would have sent him to the parking lot for USC...
