The coat type garment includes scoring indicia for each ball adhering portion which correspond in value to the extent of injury that would be caused by a projectile striking a corresponding portion of the body. Thus, a ball that adheres to a ball adhering portion located close to the heart of the player is scored a higher value than a ball that adheres to a ball adhering portion located on the arm of the player.
