I was umpiring in the Special Olympics last week. They play slow pitch so we were all out there in the shorts. The only gear I had on was my cup. A few times I really wished I had my shin guards. Lots of bouncers, fouls back and catchers who really are only there because the teams are required to field the position. I spent most of the time dancing away and handing a new ball to the catcher while I went back to pick up the pitched ball. We were on a 90 minute timer and if I didn't keep it moving, we'd get 2 innings in. And I was glad at least 3 times that I was wearing my cup
