I know this has been beat to death - BUT, it's good news on the mask front

Gotta love a collegiate pitcher who wears a mask!!!! Great role model for other pitchers, just like I tell my DD that she needs to be a role model for all the rec ball players who happen to see her pitch!

Whoever said you can't beat a dead horse never visited DFP.

If its going to get beat, maybe the dead horse needs a mask as well!???

I think we have dug up a couple of dead horses, just so we can beat them some more.

That could be the case. So I must ask....does a riseball really rise? Is there such a thing a sharp late break?

Time to microwave some popcorn, sit back and watch the show.

DW made DD1 AND DD2 (pitcher) wear masks this year after a training accident ended up with a broken nose. They were the first two at varisty level to wear them at the school. I asked DD 1 who was short stop before state tournements if she wanted me to intercede about wearing the mask and she said now that she was used to it she really did not notice she was wearing it.

Fast forward to last night I go to the 14U practice and there are two pitchers and an infielder with masks on. I must say that I felt like my girls were trend setters at the school leading the way for others to wear masks. It felt good to see them wearing the masks. I asked one other parent about it and he said that it was the right thing to do. Amazing-no debate -nothing.

FYI-you will never, ever know what it feels like to walk up to a girl that took a line drive until you do it. Then anything you ever thought or felt about this being bad will change on the spot. It is not pretty. Some would say all of us are reliving our youth through our kids or teams at some level whether we admit it or not. Make sure that it is a pleasant experience.
