NJTank Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Especially if you are playing catcher like Chris Snyder who is now on the DL with a shattered testicle.http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?StoryID=52476 www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Holy wow. The words "shattered" or "fractured" should never be used to describe a "testicle."However, dude looks seemingly fine (?!) after getting a ball fouled off your nads? I'd be on the ground and/or hopping around or whatever unsuccessful attempt it took to make the pain go away.I'm putting good money on the fact that he was wearing a cup...you'd have to be an idiot not to at the catcher position. If not, I bet he will now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Cups don't stop everything. They will probably stop direct shots, but if something just hits the edge, it will hit whatever it behind it.I wear a cup when I umpire, and I've still been hurt when foul balls bounce up from the dirt and strike the nads.

winghaz Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I was once playing tennis, a sport you wouldn't think where you should wear a cup, against a friend of mine who was a star defensive lineman in college. He slammed a shot right into my ying-yangs. I threw up in the middle of the tennis court. My friend was also laying on the court, laughing.

lets_go_red Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I had a bad one this year...for those of you who don't know I play goalie in hockey. This year in a practice I had a shot from the point tipped up from the ice and right under my cup. It hit the left one right on...swolled up about four times the normal size. Worst part was the doctor said all I could do was ice it. I had to woddle to walk. Can't even imagine how bad a "fractured" testicle would feel.

Seadragon76 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Normally, I'd start laughing my ass off after hearing someone got hit in the nuts because, let's face, it's great comedy (for me anyway. The guy getting hit in said part wouldn't find it funny... Matter of fact, it would hurt).Now, a fractured testicle is something else... Ugh. This I don't find funny. In all sense, it sound awful.
