Reply to "Batting helmets"

The athletic director in me just cringed reading that.  There's no way in the world a kid should ever put on a cracked helmet.  That helmet MUST be thrown away just on the off chance it might get mixed in with the good helmets.  Taking over the baseball program I went through our helmets about 2 weeks ago and threw away 23 that were cracked, poor padding or just downright nasty.  They weren't in use because they were buried in the corner of a storage room but there was no reason to keep them.  I ended up buying 8 new helmets just to make sure we had enough in case the ones we have end up breaking down during the season.

If the booster club buys them then make sure they are NOCSAE stamped because as Matt13 said they will be tossed in the first game when umpires inspect equipment.
