Shumway Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 After looking at my Chone Figgins bobblehead, I got to thinking:Do switch-hitters have 2 different helmets, or do they just have one with both ear flaps? I couldn't find a picture of him where it was easily visible what the case is.Credit eBay for the picHere's the bobblehead, BTW...."2005 Stolen Base Leader" along the back of the platform. On the bobblehead, he has the standard single-flap helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Figgins must use two different helmets: PictureThe two ear-flap helmets have become a thing of the past now. I don't remember seeing any players use them this year. Jose Vidro and Luis Castillo are the last two I remember seeing with the two earhole-flaps.

Shumway Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 That's what I figured, but I wasn't entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Victorino of the Phillies still uses two flaps. He's the only one currently, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Its personal choice here too if a player wants the double flap or two different helmets. I have seena a few times this year whereswitch hitters have come up with the wrong flap and thats been comical. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 don't forget about Bronson Arroyo. Although he's not a switch hitter, and I think he only uses the double flap at home, which is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwep76 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 A few other players wear the double flap: Sin-Soo Choo, Mark Bellhorn, Trot Nixon at one point, Willie Harris, and Orlando Hudson. There are definitely a few more who are slipping my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
