I went to an umpire clinic once and they forced me to use the HOK (hands on knees) mechanic as the base umpire. My thumbs bruised my tallywhacker so bad from that experience that now I wear my cup just helping out at the tball games.

You need one in t ball. I coached t ball about 20 years ago. Those kids are dangerous when they take their warm up swings!

Dan Iassogna got hit in the package while at first base on an errant pick off throw in 2003. I think it was at TB.
