M's Beltre, Betancourt test fate by not wearing protective cups
Adrian Beltre has one of the most dangerous jobs in baseball.Head over and see how long it takes for you to become uncomfortable.
He stands roughly 90 feet from home plate facing lasers that zing off the bats of pull-happy, right-handed hitters. Some balls bang off his shins, his thighs. Others smack his stomach, arms and hands.
Beltre - and those who love him - can only hope one doesn't hit him somewhere else.
The Seattle Mariners' Gold Glove third baseman doesn't wear a protective cup, leaving him vulnerable in a particularly sensitive area.
"I hear that a lot, that I'm crazy, stupid," Beltre said. "They might be right. There is some stupidity to it."
