So, I was walking through the park after practice, and the 10u rec league was playing some games, and I saw this....

Who remembers those t-shirt start up travel ball teams in 10u and 12u where all the outfielders had rip it masks on?

Many of us still happily play in those leagues today.

I have one of those sitting in my garage for slow pitch, when I am forced to pitch.

The masks used in fastpitch are not to prevent your bell getting rung. It is to prevent things like your eye-ball getting pulled out because it got suctioned to the ball after taking a line drive at 3b.
