Reply to "At what age (or Vel) did you stop catching your son?"

This thread has been awesome! Not only do I no longer feel alone, I almost feel "manly" again!

27 turned 15 last week. 6'4", 175 lb. lefty who cruises in the mid to upper 70s and tops out around 82. (Coach's radar guns...I don't own one.)

Got the gear this past summer. (Wife's attempt to keep hubby alive long enough to see varsity play

) The FB wasn't too bad. Although, as has been stated, they arrive a lot sooner than they used to. It's the curves, cutters and sliders that beat me up. Cup goes on when winter practice starts and we're throwing inside. Otherwise it's "duck and cover"!

Still, it's nice to know I'm not alone.
