Hey all. Anybody see the new batting helmets some of the teams are wearing this year? I first saw it on the Dodgers ST game, first one televised on ESPN this year. They are vented and supposedly more light weight. The vents are to make it cooler, especially during the summer. I wonder how players that load their helmets with pine tar like Vlad, will just clog the vents and defeat its purpose. I'm not sure if they will be as durable as the old ones being lightweight. They look pretty cool and have a little college look to them I think.
