Yeah, lets put them all behind a massive mesh fence. And maybe make all the fans sit inside plexiglass bubbles.
The rampant fan death rate at baseball games must be dealt with!

Don’t forget the helmets.....
I played HS Football with no face guard in 54 and it upgraded to a single bar.
I played LL Baseball with no helmet in 50 & 51, first helmet was 2 pieces of plastic connected with a ‘stretch’ type fabric.
The plastic covered the ear. and surrounding areas about the same design as the BIG BIG Headsets today.

Football is MORE dangerous with helmets. Without protection men NATURALLY protect their head. With protection they use it for a battering ram.

Yep, then later we had METAL cleats in Senior League.
