Black and Blue

Number one being balance, like Rich mentioned, is why I switched to the "Gerry Davis" style stance. I knew at some point I would get hit and after I did I couldn't get back to my usual stance for about 3 innings so I went back to my old stance (squatting).

Can you still buy those old balloon protectors, maybe on Ebay. No thanks to that. I remember using that thing when I first started and even then I used the squat stance with my forearms/elbows on my quads......kinda like when you relieve yourself in those porta-potties and you don't wanna touch the seat.
