Dangler.

I had a gnarly experience where this kid took a foul ball in the throat even though he had an extension (but no dangler). The kid looked pretty scared before he started coughing and breathing after a few seconds. On the way home, I got the only dangler they offered at the local sporting goods giant (the one with the garish Wilson logo, which I blacked out with model airplane paint). I wasn't going to do another game without it. I obey the gods.

The dangler's not a hassle, once you get used to it.

(Thank you, departed dangler inventor Bill Buhler, the legendary Dodger trainer.)
