Now, that is just a ludicrous comment.

When batting, someone is throwing the ball to the catcher, not the batter. The batter does not have a glove for protection and isn't the one offering the target. Despite not knowing where the ball is supposed to go, the batter is expected to stand her ground and only bail at the very last second if coming at her.

You are comparing a player in complete control of the aspects of a situation to a player who is guessing at best.

Shouldn't these adults be able to decide if they want to wear them or not? Let them play barefoot if they want. Anything goes. Just because they have moved to the college level doesn't mean everything. Dave
Obviously, a graduate.
