But the question is why don't Major League Baseball players wear body armor? Consider that players already have helmets used when at bat.

Given what happened to Tyler Colvin, one has to consider all of the possible ways a player can be harmed either by a wild pitch, a broken bat, players sliding into a base, or other possible occurrences.

It's hard to see how something like the equivalent of a light bulletproof vest would be limiting. We certainly have the technology to make it.

Oh, the Cubs won 13 to 3.
