More injuries are sustained on the legs since at our age we don't react as well on low hit balls. Rather than requiring masks and probably later requiring shin guards and chest plate, why just go to the screen for 65 and above. This would give you almost total safety without having to delay games while the pitcher dresses up in his hockey gear. Even greater slow down of game when you switch pitchers during a game. I have never seen the screen effect a game. Make a batted ball that hits the screen a "dead ball" and continue with the count. Especially safe for those 70 and above who pitch. |
