Think about it. Why should it be necessary to mandate a catcher wear a chest protector? Same with a glove/mitt. The NCAA mandates a player wear a glove. However, ASA does not. But who in their right mind would play without a glove?

Did not mean to jump all over you as I know you are not alone in this train of thought, just don't agree with the point that someone needs to protect me from myself.

BTW, anyone know why there is a 2004 ASA Certified bat logo on Page 52 (electronic format) of the 2008 NCAA Softball Playing Rules under the Undershirts/Undershorts part of the Uniform Rule?

Saw the logo on page 54 electronic, 53 of written book. It does look out of place in both places.
At least they make the rules available online.
