i'll never understand the umpires who dont wear a cup.

I think my cup is a ball magnet.

err or something..

You are one unlucky guy. Took a cup shot once, got pinched by the cup.
NOT fun!

I can't understand guys who refuse to wear the proper equipment and hide behind the catcher. Had a guy who refused to wear anything other than a mask and cup! We called him the hidden matador. He would hide behind the catcher and bail out on everthing even close to wild. Foul ball off the collar bone leaves pretty purple bruise w/seams.

Saturday and Monday, both days with the same partner. I got the dreaded cup shot. I have already told him that I am never working with him again. Today I was hit on the hand and couldn't use my indicator for three innings.

I must love this game because I sure don't like the pain.

All of the above (excluding cup shots) hands, shoulders, mask, etc., are exactly why I decided to purchase a hockey goalie helmet, and old baloon style chest protector. Yes, I may sure look different out there from any other PU, but I think my hands, arms, shoulders will be better off. We'll see...
