Thank you, at least I found one guy that gets it, too many keyboard atheletes on this board. Not very many people who’ve ever really played one pitch or one down.

They wear it on their throwing hand. Not impossible to catch with a broken finger. Pretty damn hard to throw with one though
what's next, face masks on the helmets like the girls?

Hate having our players wear those dumb looking oven mits when they get on base.
They are ugly but so are cups.

I would call you an ignorant frick but I guess I'm the more ignorant one for reading through this waste of space you call a thread. I will say I agree with one of the posters about your dad wearing protection or the very least your mom could've swallowed and not been selfish. That being said you shared your opinion so I will share mine. I don't give a rats arse if we come out there in mini skirts and roller blades if we bring home the victory they can dress however they want.

A handful of dirt worked just fine for well over a century.

Sorry, i fixed it now. I guess that’s why you shouldn’t type and frick at the same time.

You haven’t been watching LSU baseball for very long, have you?

Yep, dirt was used back then because there was nothing else to use for protection. You do know hockey players did not wear masks/helmets for well over a century, too? As noted, go tell Mike Trout how dumb those gloves look. Where do you stand on knee high socks vs ankle length? Battle helmet flaps vs regular helmets ?

Chances of hurting an ankle 100x > than your hand
Posted on 2/17/19 at 7:14 pm to 225Tyga
I agree. They look like oven mitts and I’m pretty sure they were intended for softball players that didn’t want to break a nail. Just saying. Quit being vaginas!!

I played college football, and I'm all about improvements that help prevent injuries. Do you have a problem with linemen wearing knee braces?

Why do hockey players wear cups?

Al former Tiger Billy McBride of he wishes he would've had a pair of those mitts in his day in the early 00s.
Dude slid into 2nd during an intersquad game, middle infielder came down & spiked his hand during a head first slide. His hand was spiked thru to the ground & his body kept sliding. Pulled his shoulder all outta whack. Ended his career. Last I heard, he can't even throw the ball to his dog or kid for that matter.
