There is a rumor going around that ASA is going to require mandatory facemasks in championship tournament play for pitchers, first basemen and third basemen. Anyone heard anything about this -- anything official?
I have no idea who Sarah Fekete is, but ASA doesn't just "require" equipment.

It would have to be proposed as a rule change which must be submitted by 9/24/08. It will then need to make it through multiple committees, then the Rules Committee and then passed by the General Council.
Should such a ridiculous change make it that far, there would need to be a standard set, tested, gain NOCSAE approval, make it through a probationary year and if successful, then a rule could be enacted.
I posted above that I think it's a good idea. That was my initial reaction as a parent and a coach. Is your objection to the legislation of it, the implementation of it or the concept in general? I know that anyone can choose to wear one at any time, I'm just curious to hear your views.
