After so many mocked the new, safer, helmet a few weeks back, David Wright has agreed to become the first to wear it (even if he planned to wear it anyways).

As David Wright prepares to come off the disabled list Tuesday, he plans to make good on his word. Even before he was struck on the helmet by a Matt Cain fastball on Aug. 8, he said he would wear the new extra-protective S100 helmet from Rawlings, no matter how it looked.

And he shall be… Kazoo!

At least someone’s willing to put his safety and common sense ahead of bravado…
