Men across the country still cringe as they watch New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. foul with a pitch straight into his own groin.
It was bad enough that Chisholm had to leave the game, and many wondered why he didn’t carry a cup for protection.
Well, now we have an answer.

Yankees writer Gary Philips shared some quotes from Chisholm explaining why he wasn’t a cup guy before he fouled out, and why he won’t be a cup guy in the future.

Chisholm said the pain level was “a million” and that “if you ever got hit in the testicles, you’d know it.”
Most men who read this simply nodded at that statement.
But Chisholm revealed that even though cups are mandatory in the minor leagues, he still skipped them and will continue to do so because he trusts his own defensive abilities.
“I’ve never used a cup,” he said. “I’ve never been hit in the balls. It was just unfortunate.”
Now, there are times when I wonder why men don’t wear cups all the time just for peace of mind (I feel the same way about helmets too). You won’t regret not using a mug until the time you’re at a cookout and a wayward volleyball leaves you in ruins.
But I also like that Chisholm trusts himself to react and protect the kids. I’ve always said that a pretty significant part of a man’s life is dedicated to protecting his lower anatomy.
You’re always on alert, trying to stay away from anything that might leave you doubled over and spouting every insult you know and several others you didn’t know you knew.

Chisholm is self-aware enough to know where his self-preservation reflexes are, and I respect that.
But if you take another foul ball to the lower half of your body, you might want to start rethinking that stance in the cups.
