Cups

[Durham]

I know a guy that doesn't wear one. He got bashed a few years ago and started wearing one for couple of months and then went back to working without one. I could never do it, but to each their own.

I always wear a cup behind the plate, but tell the hot moms that I'm not !!

What about on the bases? I personally don't wear one but I know guys who do. I wore one when I played but that was when I was trying to get in front of the ball. Now I try to avoid it.

I wear one every time I step onto the field.

It's the ethical and morally responsible thing to do.

Years ago when I was only a middle-aged bald geezer and not the bald old geezer that I am now I used to officiate H.S. soccer.

The OhioHSAA plays it boys' and girls' H.S. soccer in the Fall and one year I had a boys' JV game in early October when some early Winter weather came through NW Ohio. Everybody from both teams were bundled up wearing stocking caps (which it made it somewhat difficult to tell who had long hair and who had really long hair), long sleeve undergarments, and gloves. I was checking the Home teams shows and reminding them not to wear jewelry when I made the comment (thinking that I everybody on the team was a male): "I hope everybody is wearing their fur lined cups." No sooner had I said it a very feminine voice said: "I don't know about my teammates but my cups are fur lined." Everybody burst out laughing, even me.

It started snowing half way through the first half and never stopped the rest of the game.

I once worked a university game behind the dish without one, but didn't realize till I went to take it off.

I will seldom wear one on the bases.
