I just read that Kentucky is requiring masks for pitchers and corner infielders. First domino to fall, or outlier?
Let me start by saying I have no problem with any player wearing any equipment on defense that they feel will protect them to whatever level of comfort them see fit.
That said, I wonder what will happen if a player wearing a mask gets clobbered and seriously injured or killed. Remember, there is no standard set.
Not big fan of the government sticking their nose into this or other sports situations.
And I tire of the cowardice demonstrated by coaches and parents who beg for such a rule mandating the masks. If it was that important to them, why is there a need for a rule or law to get them on their players/daughters during a game?
Another solution in search of a problem.
