He still has trouble and is less than 40. He lost his job and then his wife.
I looked into a medical malpractice suit for him because the treating surgeon and ER doctors would not even take a look when he complained about severe pain in the nether region while erroneously labeling him a narcotic drug seeker. However, no other physician would testify that it was malpractice as the medical records showed and my client admitted to amorous relations with his wife before the drainage tube was removed and thus the increased risk of the very infection he had.
I am talking about this guy was in hospital three weeks and almost died and had major surgery on top of losing one of his nuts due to a baseball hit by an eight year old hitting him in the pills.
Way too risky to be on a field at any age with a hard baseball without a cup in my humble opinion.
I wear one. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.
I wear Under Armour Cup-black with carbon fibre. Very comfortable to the point that I don't know I have it on until I go to the restroom.
MTCYMMV.

Dave, you often convey a message like I would. In this case, as in several other cases, you convey it in a way that I merely
wish I could.
Yet another tip of the creased black cap to you sir.
