I don't call baseball, but I have taken several bouncers off the "dangler" and have been very thankful it was there.

Same for me, didn't wear the dangler until I got hit in the throat.

The funny(?) part is that the guy who was on the bases was our local equipment distributor...caring and kind guy that he was, he immediately ran down to the plate area and asked me if......I wanted to buy a throat protector! :eek:

Needless to say, I bought one right after the game. My very next plate game, a pitch that bounced in front of the catcher came up and got me right in the dangling throat protector....instant confirmation that my purchase was worth it.

I'd discount the advice of anyone who told me to not wear some protective equipment due to some kind of softball-baseball image issue.
I wear a dangling throat protector and I have no doubt it has saved me a few times. I'm not in his area but the only thing I've ever heard about a throat protector is to black out the white lettering. I'm always suprised at UICs who say stupid stuff like "it's too baseball"... although I personally have never heard that.

I have heard that said to me when I decide to wear my West Vest but its just a comment, I dont take it seriously. If they are bringing it, I put on the WV.

Or......., we'll call our 3 softball games and then come visit you at your local hospital. Dave

Well apparently some people took exception to my "danglers" comment... its just my "sense" of humor.
Wear whatever protective equipment you feel you need, hustle and be safe.

Except, don't ever wear that mask hanger clip thingey on your belt... or i will make fun of you behind your back. :) :p

Does that mean it is okay for a coach or player to ask a PU, "Hey, Blue, how's it dangling?"

I will not only make fun of you behind your back, I'll probably do it in front of you, too. With other people watching.
