ROTFLOL!! What a GREAT tagline... and SO true, huh?
"Ancient and traditional"... yeah, right. ;-D
I only go up to college sports level, and all the baseball and softball game I shoot have netting and fencing set up to where it's almost impossible to get hit, except maybe by a foul that pops up, over the fence and comes straight down.
As fast as the action in football is, and I've had to dodge a few players coming out of bounds, in baseball, that mesh has saved me several times. The ball comes so fast that I generally haven't even registered that it's coming at me when it hits the mesh.
