The oven mitt and helmets that curve all the way down the face are the lamest

Things I’ve ever seen. These are what kids wore who had medical conditions or were straight up scared to take the plate when I was younger. Does everyone wear these all the time now? I have not really watched pro baseball since the Cubs won the World Series.

I’ve heard it helps the hitter block out everything and lock in. I never tried one but makes sense to me

I also gotta assume it makes you feel safer and not concerned about taking a bean, which improves confidence

After multiple major leaguers got hit in the face a lot of players decided to add them. Why are you upset about players protecting themselves?

I wouldn’t say I’m upset I just see it and just think it’s lame. I understand why they wear it. Pro guys just didn’t wear those when I grew up watching baseball so it turns me off I suppose.

Let's go back to old leather helmets as well in football.

I can tell you after wearing a helmet, if you step into the box without a helmet on you feel pretty exposed. So I’m surprised everyone doesn’t wear them and they aren’t designed more as a one piece.

Since he started the C-Flap helmet trend why don't you go poke Giancarlo Stanton in the chest (you probably need a ladder) and tell him he is a pussy.

are these the double ear flap helmets?

I imagine they don’t want anything that’s a bitch to run the bases in

Get your finger spiked while sliding to a base and get back to me. That shite hurt.

I remember when Barry Bonds would wear that Robocop gear and thinking, no wonder he crowds the plate, this guy doesn't have a care in the world.

Some of this shite needs to be illegal, there should be some element of fear of getting beaned.

Then why not just get rid of helmets?
