ya know when football was in its beginning years there were no pads no helmets. The sport and protective equipment has morphed for safety of the players. Now, none of us would allow a youngster to take the field without pads, helmet etc. This NEEDS to happen in softball, NO GAME, NO SITUATION in any game is worth a life changing injury for a young lady. Shame on you all for the bull$^%t bravado your spewing! No amount of training can prepare you for a ball traveling upwards of 115mph at your face from 37 feet in an instant. When the modern football type helmets and face guards were introduced they were met with the same attitude some are showing here but now they are just part of the uniform. MAKE THEM MANDATORY for all infielders in softball!! Sorry, end of rant.
