I have yet to invest in a catcher's mitt - mainly because I'm left handed and they are expensive - but I've got a 1st basemen's glove and it's not doing the job it used to do. Especially right now when it's cold. My hand will be numb or sting for 30 minutes after a session. I definitely need more padding.

I've never come close to needing a cup (I catch, like most dads, sitting on a bucket - Lord help me if I tried to crouch down for even 10 minutes!). I'm not too scared of getting hit in the face if just she and I are pitching, it's only when others are around that I'll now be a helluva lot more nervous. So I might get a mask for next winter, but once we get outside shortly, that won't (shouldn't) be a problem.
