Nutty Buddy - Mark Littel, Protector of Men

Great invention, and the video is kinda funny too...

Meet man's new best friend

December 10, 2007

Mark Littell believes he has a better way to protect your boys, and, as his YouTube video shows, the former major leaguer will risk his manhood to prove it.

Perched on a wooden pallet, Littell braces himself as assistants aim the barrel of a pitching machine between his legs. On cue, the machine fires a baseball that smacks Littell right in the -- well, you know -- with a resounding whomp.

Littell stands and flexes his muscles, unfazed.

"Yes sir, folks," he says into the camera. "The Nutty Buddy: It's mean, it's tough, and it's right there for ya, every time."

Littell, 54, says nine seasons with the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals helped him design an athletic cup that's ahead of the competition.

"All people have to do is try it," Littell says.

At $19.95, the Nutty Buddy is on the high end in price, about twice as much as a typical athletic cup. But Littell is betting parents will buy them for their sons anyway in hopes the better fit will get them to wear the cups more often.

So far, Littell's company has sold 3,500 units through the Web.
