Would y'all believe me if I told you that our town's baseball league has decreed that all players (age 7) have to wear a *heart-guard*???
Not just catchers or pitchers, but everyone.
This is flat-out ridiculous!
They also say that all the boys need to wear cups. Whatever. I can guarantee you that the cups would CAUSE more injuries, by a factor of 100, than they would prevent.
A few years ago I blogged on kids in San Diego having to wear helmets(!) while they play soccer...
But I think the heart-guards top that in terms of insanity.
