Social experiment. If you're too stupid to not wear a chest protector, they want you thinned from the herd. The same concept should apply to warning labels.

I've always worn a cup, on plate and bases. Just one less thing to worry about.

I wear a cup, and I only call SP. On really bad nights, I even wear the small soccer-style shin guards. That ball doesn't hurt much the first time, but it always finds that same spot on my shin bone.

You've heard of "Chinese water torture." I call it "Slow Pitch Catcher Torture."
