Wilson's respons to S100 helmet

Due to the positive responses from players about Rawlings S100 batting helmet, the people at Wilson set out to create an even safer helmet tentatively called the “Megacage900”. This helmet the product of months of research and player feedback. What they found was that players didn’t feel retarded enough in the S100. “Sure the S100 makes me look like a bobblehead, but my face area still looks normal” said Ryan Dempster of the Chicago Cubs, “But with Wilson’s new Megacage900, I get the safety of the two toned paint job and AND the patented Megacage, which really helps protect my face when my teammates kick my ass for wearing such a retarded helmet, a feature that was missing in the S100.”
