I have to agree with you that if you're afraid of the ball at the varsity level you don't need to be on the field. I have heard of a couple cases of players wearing masks (like John Olerud with his helmet, and I <i>think</i> Chris Sabo with his goggles) because of previous hits or existing conditions. The bones get soft or cracked and another hit can cause serious damage, or a hit to the head could be pretty serious. (But as a baseball player I always made sure I had a cup on.)<br /><br />I'm glad you like the Obak. I went back to Target and looked for some, but the few that were left had been opened by some loser jerk probably looking for an autograph. If I find more I'll most likely pick 'em up.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-58523229829807044252011-09-15T13:39:26.632-07:002011-09-15T13:39:26.632-07:00If you won't debate girls using them, then I w...If you won't debate girls using them, then I will. I think I'm allowed since I played softball for 14 years. It started with the younger pitchers wearing them, like you said, since they are so close to the plate. And I guess I can understand that if it helps with their confidence. But then it progressed to corners, middle infielders, and even OUTFIELDERS! Seriously, if you're that afraid of the ball, then go be a cheerleader or something. I played third base, most of the time even with the pitcher, and the worst thing that happened was I took a shot off my ankle once. Not that big of a deal.<br /><br />On a card related note, I'm glad you busted a couple of these packs because I had always wondered what these cards looked like. I see them in Target all the time, but am never curious enough to purchase some. I love that Greenberg, with him being in his military uniform. Beautiful cards with some interesting backgrounds.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603949315719068574noreply@blogger.com
