Thank God for equipment
I always wear the full complement of equipment. While working a 12U game last night, I took a wild pitch in the cup. It was a clean shot that nearly took me to my knees. There was a guy in our association that never wore a cup only shin guards and a mask. I can only imagine the pain I would have experienced without my cup. After gaining my composure, I gave the count in a high pitched voice. The crowd got a big kick from my little bit of self-humility!
