I just started baseball again for the first time in like 7 years. In the league we play in a indoor field and our managers recommend we wear a protective cup and jockstrap. Before our game my mom asked if I was wearing it and I told her it was still In my bag. And she said she won't let me play unless I'm wearing it. So she told me to tap to show I am. Is she overreacting about me wearing it as a 2nd basemen? She says she doesn't want to see me in a emergency.

Do not step on to any baseball field for practice or game without a cup. We have a prominent member here whose son was a second baseman and was not wearing a cup. Ironically, he was in the on-deck circle when a foul ball hit him in the groin. That young man is now minus one testicle. Hopefully, you'll heed this advice and not question your mother's sound wisdom ever again. You should also be wearing mouth-guard protection as well.
