Staying in the slot like a champ

I had games this weekend where both pitchers loved throwing outside and low. The catchers were mediocre at best, and I narrowly avoided being this guy: Ump hit, stays in game | MLB.com

I honestly can't say I was that rock solid. After a few shots to the forearm and thighs, I was a bit jumpy.

(This is also the first time I've seen a big league catcher wear a helmet with a backwards ball cap underneath. I don't watch that much baseball, so maybe this is the cool thing now. I dunno.)
