I really appreciate letting us know we've arrived at the end of the video. It helps with my daily planning.

I don't think most hitters during the 1960's and perhaps also in the early 1970's wore the protective "ear flaps" on their batting helmets. It may have taken a tragedy to change their minds. I vaguely remember a MLB player who was seriously hurt when struck in the side of the face by a pitched ball. Wearing a "ear flap" probably would not have resulted in such a serious injury. The player may have been Ron Santo (Cubs third baseman). Seems after that, hitters started wearing the "ear flaps" or at least half a "earflap" (side facing the pitcher) style batting helmets.

It was Santo, also after coming back, wore the ear flap.

The very first written reference of baseball was in great Britain in
The year 1759
So it was something of a long standing tradition way before the official sport came into being . But the scope of the documentary only encompasses the official sport not the origin of such

[@ginoschlegel6370]

so they started using hewad protection in baseball before anyone used face/headprotection in hockey

It pisses me off that it says batting helmet. Just fucking say batting helmets.
