Can anyone explain this?

Why does John Olerud wear a helmet on the field?

[the_dragon1912_PSN]

Because he did in real life

[SaintSKDE_XBL]

Is there a reason or just wanted to do it?

[yankblan_PSN]

Reminds me of the glitch years ago that had catchers wearing their masks when playing 1B

[KingAKP_XBL]

I believe he had a stroke or brain aneurism (sp?) in college.

[abbyspapa_PSN]

He had an aneurysm when he was 20 and he wore it for protection.

John Olerud was hit in the head on a line drive in college which caused an aneurysm. His father insisted he always wear a helmet after that
