I roam the vast expanse of the outfield; I always - ALWAYS wear a cup.
Once, I was taking a big lead at third hoping for a past ball or wild pitch. The catcher didn't like the lead I had, so he gunned it down. Instead of hitting 3rd, I got hit square in the cup - I had no time to step out - I got the wind knocked out of me, the ball bounded into left field, and I hobbled home scoring a run. The crowd all heard the pop of the cup and the ump had a $hit-eating grin on his face.
ALWAYS WEAR A CUP - the family jewels are too damn important.

During a coed softball game, on of our female players lost her footing and bounced into the thirdbaseman.
The rest of us burst into laughter when we heard her say, "Oh, you're not wearing a cup"!
... He turned bright red !
