Aroldis Chapman was hit in the face with a line drive and was carted off the field. They ended the game in the 6th inning. It doesn't sound good. Needless to say I hope he's going to be ok.

If you can pitch with it, you'd be nuts not to wear a helmet. I wear a hockey mask pitching in 12' softball. I've got a wife and kid, save the macho bullshit for someone else.

I care. It would look moronic and turn this sport into an even bigger joke.

You're gonna need more than a mask for that.

People are always going to mock something like that at first. When Charlie Wait wore the first glove he had it made the same color as his hand so people wouldn't notice. They did notice and he was ridiculed. It took a popular guy like Al Spalding to make it okay to wear a glove without being laughed at. I would bet if a guy goes 15-8 with a 2.20 ERA wearing a helmet, no one will be laughing at him.

And if he goes 13-12 they might just give him the Cy Young.

And if he goes 11-14 Frank will tell me what a great season he had.
