He is no knight in shining armor

of Roger Bresnahan dressed in his up

wears them, but there are some catch
crs who are thinking seriously of
adopting them.
Some spectators had Il good laugh
WHEN they saw BTcsnahan on the field
for the first time. The leg guards were
so new and odd that they could not
take their eyes from them. They make
the English spectators think of cricket
The other day when foul tip came

around and had a laugh with the crowd
and his club mates. IF il hadn't been
