Ok guys really need your input and feedback on this. As most of you may know I recently received a concussion. At least the second confirmed one in two years. Yesterday I had a 2nd follow up Doctor appointment for it and also my annual physical. This was with my regular doctor who was out last week, so this is the first time I seen him after my concussion. He is also a baseball fan, even though he is a Dodger fan He wants me to wear a HSM, Period!!!!!!!! I told him I had gotten better pads for my mask (Team Wendy) and that should provide better protection. He said that with the two confirmed concussions in the last two years and my age he wants my full head protected to help reduce receiving a blow any where else to my head besides a mask shot. I have never been hit by anything but a ball to the mask, although I have seen video of MLB guys getting hit by bats on back swings and after they have broken. Not sure if I can disagree with him but just not sure a HSM really provides more protection then a good mask with good pads. I know it makes you feel better protected. If you have any research articles on this and HSMs please let me know. I also got lectured about using more sun screen although he doesn't see anything that concerns him.
