I can’t imagine that this is going to go over well with players. It’s like wearing a goddamned camper shell on your head to play ball.

Those awesome football masks some fast pitch softball teams wear? Imagine if they tried to make Larry Bowa wear one…That would be comedy

I saw a little league baseball team wearing those. While on defense.
Insanity is just a state of mind.

I don’t give a shit how painful or life threatening getting hit in the head can be, that’s just demeaning.

No kidding. I’d take the risk. It’s so huge, it’s gotta mess with your center of gravity or something.

Here's another view
I’m sure the speed holes and two-tone paint job are also there for safety.

I read an article with a bunch of negative quotes from the players.
Took a look at the helmet’s website which doesn’t show it on a human.
Went, “that actually looks pretty cool wtf?”
Now that I’ve seen this I understand.

Steve Phillips: I draft David Wright b/c of his unique hitting approach
Joe Morgan: Really, what about his approach struck you most?
SP: Well, to be honest with you, his father passed down to him, this ancient power known as the…
JM: …Force?
SP:No, the Schwartz! Its really an effective thing to have for a batter.
JM: You know, Steve, I refer to the Schwartz as the 7th tool, it is really one of the most important tools in baseball. Right after…..

I’m suspicious. I saw the video where dempster used it, it didn’t look that bad. Could be just a bad angle.
I probably wouldn’t mind it that much, until you get to college, the helmets look pretty much like that don’t they?

Dude is rich, handsome, and by all accounts a pretty cool guy.
I don’t think wearing that is going to affect his image too much. Good for him for protecting his noggin.
