Reply to "Beware the backswing"

Thanks for posting those videos. Of course, I've seen a few of MLB catchers hit by the backswing. And yes, probably largely or virtually entirely dominated by batters extending a follow-through or who routinely finish one-handed, which includes my son. I have no idea if he's ever hit a catcher on a back-swing, but I have no recollection of it. All of this still makes feel even more strongly that a hockey-style catchers mask is the way to go. Oh, and I said hundreds of games, not 100. Big difference. But I was being excessively sarcastic, for which I apologized.

I believe this thread has run its course....
