Either that ball missed the family jewels or we've just seen the world's toughest ump!

The one and only time I have ever taken a direct shot to the cup, was in a HS varsity game, and the son of a good friend of mine was on deck, and he was the catcher for the team at bat. He said "everyone should experience that once in life." So true, so true, once is enough...

I took a solid shot last year, lucky there were two outs and I was able to get through the inning. Once the inning was over... damn did it ever set in.

I took one last year. Batter fouls it down and it bounces up under the F2 who was rising for a high pitch.

Serious ouch! Anyway the coach yells over and asks if that was a ball or a stike or both.
