Re: [OM] ebay special

[Chuck Norcutt]

I asked my son and he doesn't know either.  But he offers some pure 
speculation as follows: "I'm not really sure either.  Maybe it has 
something to do with the larger ball possibly being more likely to 
deflect off the glove and hitting the player in the face.  I don't think 
I have ever heard of a baseball player [hardball] suffering an injury to 
the face from a deflected ball but I have heard of at least three local 
girls [softball] who have . . . and they were not wearing masks."
I was surprised that he didn't know as he's fairly active with the kids 
and their (multiple) sports teams and sometimes acts as a substitute 
coach or game official.
