Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3535466, member: 2458"] lol. My experience: as a kid, only the couple rich kids on the team had their own bats and they let everybody use them if they wanted to. First years coaching: Everybody had their own bat. Was out of it for a few years and then got back into it and... Now EVERYBODY has their own bat... AND helmet. It’s a different world. When I was a kid, I don’t think nobody ever even thought about wanting their own helmet, let alone talked about it. It just wasn’t a real thing. If the kids batting before you got on base, you might get stuck wearing an enormous helmet and have to wear your hat underneath, as it still wobbled around when you swung and ran, lol. [/QUOTE]
