I'm just glad they did invent the cup. I had a catcher in a spring league baseball game yesterday that hadn't been behind the plate in 3 years. The pitcher bounced a pitch right before the plate, the catcher didn't move to block it, so I blocked it with my cup. Thankfully it worked. After a minute of me "walking it off" and a short conversation with the catcher about doing his job, I was able to get back to work.
Btw, I did call it a "ball". Jump right on in with those comments.
