I have a question for you gentlemen: is there some unwritten rule that a guy has to adjust his junk before each pitch? Obviously, I don’t have junk so this is a mystery to me.
The baseball answer is because of superstition and wanting to keep your routine in the batter’s box.
The serious answer is because your cup adjusts a lot.
Ah. I should have figured that. It’s just funny to me.
Hope the Hoos triumph over the Dookies tonight; last night was a disappointment.
