The thighs can be a real problem, especially if you have to do any running (say, on the bases the next night).
I was in a karate tournament once where I took a good shot from a great fighter on the inner thigh. It didn't hurt then, and even later I just noticed a little soreness.
The next day I was practicing softball with my team and I realized I couldn't run. I didn't play that week and barely was able to play the next -- and I was 20!
I have a lot of respect for you baseball guys that stand in there and take it, but I agree with another poster on another thread: make sure you protect yourself. If you are out due to injury, that's one less good man calling balls, strikes, and outs.
