A LITTLE KNOWN BASEBALL FACT

The first testicular guard (Cup) was used in baseball in 1874 - the first helmet was not used until 1934.

It took 60 years for men to realize that the brain is also important

The sports bra just (last 30 years) came in. To hold them in place, when playing.

WNY...I think you're doing it all wrong, using a bra! Hope it's not a D-cup! LOL Either that or you must walk bow-legged.

Now thats funny, hahaha. I had to share this with the gals my wife works with in the lab and they really got a good laugh! The guys at work did too, but ackowledged they totally understood the reason for the timing of the cup and helmet usage, lol.
