I think Steve Yeager of the Dodgers designed that after getting hit in the throat. 

We got them in Little League in 1979 or 1980, I think.  Shockingly, Yeager was hit in the throat with broken bat pieces and not a ball.  He was in the on-deck circle when fragments of a broken bat single shot 3 inches into his neck and almost killed him.  I think the throat guard was his idea to keep him safe after that, but I'm not sure on that part.
