Whiskers in Baseball and the Catcher Protector Origin
A humorous tale from a New York fan recounts how Esau Sampson inspired the modern catcher's chest protector. It traces a beard based safeguard from the early 1880s when Bull Thompson’s toothy stunt led to facial protection becoming standard, ending with Esau's woolly whiskers becoming a Pillowship shield for foul tips.
