(the lightweight masks are more comfortable, but they don't disperse impact as well as the old-fashioned steel masks) They also want Salvy to inch up closer to the plate to make foul balls less likely to hit his head.

I wonder what sport costs more money in injuries throughout the USA: baseball or football..
