When both of my sons started playing "travel" team ball when they were nine years they played for coaches that required everybody to wear a cup, not just the catchers. And since both my sons were also first baseman it made sense for them to wear cups. And there have been a few close calls on the bases for me when I wondered if I shouldn't have been wearing a cup. But my oldest, MTD, Jr., became an OhioHSAA umpire last year and does not wear a cup on the bases, so go figure.

MTD, Sr.
