In many Little Leagues it was worn because it was required. BTW it 
wasn't required in my Little League except for the catcher. I played 
football in high school and tried out as a walk on in college (defensive 
back) - I never used a cup - never had a problem. Not many of the other 
guys did either.

As far as I am concerned the cup was invented by a woman who wanted to 
punish men.

Today there are support shorts a.k.a. compression shorts made for male 
athletics. They don't have the issues of the old fashion "jock strap" of 
rubbing and chafing. Back in the '90's you see these white shots below 
the bottom of basketball trunks - that's why basketball trunks got baggy 
to cover the compression shorts. Not only to they provide "male support" 
they provide support for the groin muscles and the muscles of the upper 
legs.

I've been riding in compression shorts since a long time ago.
