Haley playing spring softball!

This blog is dedicated to a debate that I have been having with Jodi. It really burns me up when I have dedicated so much time to working with Haley to make her the best ball player to be informed by Jodi that she thinks that she should start wearing a face mask. I take pride in having a kid that plays in her age group at the level of abilities which are probably close to the top of the league. Haley has been playing pitcher's mound for the las couple of games and Jodi is afraid that she will get hurt because the other night she was hit in the face by a ground ball that went up her glove. My thoughts on this is that there is not a player in this league that can really hit the ball hard enough to worry about her getting hurt bad, i think she has a good enough glove that she can handle any player in the league. If a kid plays baseball or softball they are going to eventually get hit but i can not justify placing Full body gear on her and sending her out onto the field so that i can watch her make error after error due the fact she can not see what is going on. I guess everyone knows where i stand on this so i am asking you as my followers what you think about this!
