why baseball players are against safety

Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau has something that he wants for every major leaguer.  He wants them to be safe.

Morneau has not played in a baseball game since July 2010, after he took a knee to the head trying to break up a double play.  Morneau has also had multiple concussions as a result of being hit by pitches.  This spring, Morneau has become an advocate for a helmet called the Rawlings S100.  The S100 standing for the speed at which this helmet can give protection for (100 miles per hour).  The standard helmet that is being used by players today is rated to protect players at 70 miles per hour.  The new helmet may have also helped when Morneau took that knee to the head.

Most players have resisted this change because it isn't comfortable, it's too bulky, they might look like clowns, and they're just scared they won't be the same player with new equipment.
