Everyone,
Chris' post-season team played in a tournament in Brookfield this weekend. In the final game this afternoon Chris was batting against a pitcher who was throwing the ball pretty hard. Chris tried to hop out of the way of a blazing inside fastball, but he wasn't quick enough. It plunked him right in the ... well, I guess the safe thing to say is that he got hit right in the place guys REALLY don't like to get hit.
Fortunately, he was wearing his protective cup and trotted down to first base with a big grin on his face.
After the game I was shocked to learn that several of the guys on the team didn't wear their cups in the tournament games.
Please -- for your son's future, to say nothing of your future grandchildren -- make sure that your Brave always wears his cup to games and practices. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred he won't need it, but that hundredth time he will be very happy it's with him.
Dave
