My first encounter was with the one with the chain link fence, which continues to be my favorite — I’m a wheelchair user, so giving me a box to stand on doesn’t exactly HELP the situation… but changing the protective gear to one that still provides protection (in this case, from stray balls — when I saw the “Liberation” one with no fence my first thought was “someone’s gonna get hit in the face with a foul ball at high speed”), while removing barriers to engagement and participation based on aspects of physical presentation.
