I see a new fashion statement.

Oh, it's not a joke:
Padres pitcher Alex Torres worked the eighth inning Saturday night against the Dodgers, but it was no ordinary relief appearance. The 26-year-old left-hander became the first player in MLB history to sport the newly-approved pitching headgear.
"The difference between how this hat and the regular hat feels isn't much," Torres said..."I tried it before using it in the game, playing catch. It doesn't feel really bad. It doesn't feel like how it looks on my head."
He's tweeted that he had a "close call" during spring training. Hope it works better than it looks. As long as he can see, I guess...
