Cheaper Alternative to Hex Pad Tights-Football Thigh Pads
If you are financially challenged like me you can get a pair of football thigh pads (I coach HS football so they were free for me) and slide them into the regular tights or compression shorts you wear. I took two in the inner thigh yesterday due to sucky (is that a word?) catchers and didn't feel a thing. It was 80 degrees and no noticeable extra heat. I wear Honig's plate pants so no one even notices the thigh pads-or if they do, no one says anything like wuss or stuff like that. Both catchers thought I would be hurt or complaining and I didn't even make a sound. Nor did I tell them about the thigh pads. Just a suggestion. And for those of you who think Wuss/Puss or other derogatory comments, I don't care. I just got back into shape after a bad health episode and I don't want to derail my cardio workouts due to deep thigh bruising. My walks are the keys to my newfound physical and mental health.

The thighs can be a real problem, especially if you have to do any running (say, on the bases the next night).
I was in a karate tournament once where I took a good shot from a great fighter on the inner thigh. It didn't hurt then, and even later I just noticed a little soreness. The next day I was practicing softball with my team and I realized I couldn't run. I didn't play that week and barely was able to play the next -- and I was 20! I have a lot of respect for you baseball guys that stand in there and take it, but I agree with another poster on another thread: make sure you protect yourself. If you are out due to injury, that's one less good man calling balls, strikes, and outs.
