I watched the game this afternoon on TV. I was very upset at the lack of safety factors. Almost all the Puerto Rico batters and runners had their helmets tilted back on their heads, exposing the forehead. I shudder to think what would have happened if one of the was hit with a pitch, or a thrown or batted ball.

Good concerns, but be assured the insurance underwriters are watching.

I hope somebody's watching, Mick. The umpires and tournament directors weren't.
