OUCHY!!!!
Ok, this has got to be about the most painful injury one can think of - a fractured testicle. That's right, you are reading this correctly. Chris Snyder, catcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, is on the 15-day DL because of a BROKEN NUT!
Read the Diamondbacks press release here.
Take a look at this video and feel the pain. I especially like Mark Grace's commentary as the video guys on the Diamondback's broadcast repeatedly show Snyder's nut get hit by a foul ball.
Wanna know how to break a nut? Check out eMedicine for more information on nutcracking.
My groin is starting to hurt just thinking about this. Man, that had to kill. I know if something just grazes my tomatoes I can't talk for an hour, but breaking a nut! Just shoot me now.
Taking a ball into the nether regions is bad enough, even if you have a cup on. I can't imagine what breaking a nut feels like.
A moment of silence please for Chris Snyder's balls......
Isn't that the same thing former OSU catcher Mitch Canham had surgery for last year, when he was playing with the Emeralds? Ouch.
