I arrive at my HS V game yesterday...I'm talking to my partner while getting dressed for the plate....we go onto the field, check equipment, one coach has some questons for me about a ruling in their previous game, pregame meeting, game starts.
I go through the top of the first, no problems, then start thinking that something doesn't feel right.....then I realized.....NO CUP!!!
The rest of the (thankfully) five-inning game was spent right behind the catchers with my hands held in front of the boys.....fortunately, nothing came close.....
