Ok, I get it...protecting your ankle from a foul ball makes one a pussy....I don't see many shoulder pads. Is protecting an elbow bad too? What if you're a left-handed pitcher that bats right? Just man-up I guess. Switch-hitters should be required to have two helmets?

Pitchers are the exception.
The ankle pads are really helpful, I just hate watching a player take the minute it takes to take it off and hand it to the first baseball coach, who puts its on his elbow.
Helmets that fall off the running runner are annoying too. See Raul Mondesi.

I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
