In other words, tell em to go shove it, right before you hit a HR at your 1st at bat
Good luck with the baseball.
I would love to tell them to shove it, but I am a pitcher and I can only manage to top out at around 94, and yeah, I look gay with the ice on, but I think anybody looks pretty damn lame with 5lb's of ice wrapped on their arm and shoulder. Thank you all for the info, I'll go out for the least *****exual / Least Attention Attracting helmet I can find!
