Headgear Head Guard Is a pitcher allowed to wear a helmet on the mound to protect his head from line drives?
I've been thinking, since batters are allowed to wear all sorts of protective gear (helmets, elbow pads, shin guards). But pitchers don't wear any kind of protection, yet they are in a much worse position to field a batted ball due to normal motion.
Is it about time we see a pitcher wear protective headgear?
I can understand the vision obstruction complaint. There is a lot of peripheral vision out-the-corner-of-your-eye used in pitching (much more so than in hitting), and protective headgear might get in the way of functionality. But I have to believe that a design is possible to combine safety without impeding sight. I just wonder if such a design has not been widely manufactured due to lack of demand.
I don't buy the "unmanly" argument at all. Nobody calls infielders unmanly if they play while wearing protective groin cups.
It might hurt their pitching ability, having a hard-hat on their head, but it is probably a good idea, but there have been better ideas than a helmet.
After Joe Martinez got hit in the head with a line drive off the bat of Mike Cameron early in the season, he was gone for five months. When he came back, he wore a hard insert in his hat to avoid another problem like that, and he swears by it now, and wishes more people would wear it.
So there are things going on under the hat that you might not know about, but at the end of the day, it is a pride thing, and you don't want to be known as the "John Olerud-player" of wearing a helmet everywhere. It isn't "manly" and all.
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A snood is a type of headgear, historically worn by women over their long hair. In the most common form it resembles a closefitting hood worn over the back of the head. The band covers the forehead or crown of the head, goes behind the ears and under the nape of the neck. A sack of sorts dangles from this band, covering and containing the fall of long hair gathered at the back of the head. A snood is sometimes made of solid cloth, but sometimes of loosely knitted yarn, or other netlike material. In modern times the word has also come to be applied to a tubular neck protector or warmer, often worn by skiers or motorcyclists. The garment can be worn either pulled down around the neck like a scarf, or pulled up over the hair and lower face, like a hood. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

In Splinter Cell Double agent, how come other guards can't see the 3 lights on your head?
In this game you are dressed in black and can creep around in the shadows without other guards seeing you, so how come they can't see the 3 bright lights sticking out of your headgear?!?!
I seems stupid at times I know but Sams' goggles are a signature of the game. They're part of it's identity along with the powering up noise that they make when turned on. You never really need them to locate yourself in game as others have stated, it's never THAT dark. Even when your light sensor (which also glows in the dark) is green Sam is still clearly visable on screen. The game would be an absolute nightmare otherwise.
