So - I'm watching the Giants v. Rockies last night, and Gary Cederstrom is behind the plate.

He's wearing the Wilson (Shock, I presume) HSM.

But he's added this plexiglass neck protector - very much like the ones hockey goaltenders wear.
See below:



The big question is, does anyone know where to obtain one of those devices?

I'm seriously considering the Wilson Shock helmet, but it's pretty apparent that it leave the throat a bit exposed.

Anyone?

Thanks,

So when did the Giants change their name to the Padres and why did they change the color of their uniforms as well? Very Happy

Hey now, I didn't say the photo was from last night now, did I? (Actually, I had to dig pretty deep to find that photo)!

It was a rare time for me to be even watching the Rockies.... I'd almost rather mow the lawn! Laughing

By the way, some links where I found the lexan throat protector, similar to the one that Mr. Cederstrom is wearing:

and:

and:

And then there was this goofy thing... hockey goalies call it a "bib" type throat protector:

I can't see that last one working very well for baseball... I think it would be a bit too hot.

Not to stir the pot or anything, but his bags look strangely similar to the Ump Attire UBB. Hmmm.

Just saw the Wilson 2009 Catalog - they have a throat guard specifically designed for their Wilson Shock HSM's...

A3906 (6" guard)
A3904 (4" guard)

They must be brand new for 2009 - a google search turned up no retailers carrying them.

Suggested Retail Price from Wilson is $20.
