We already told you about Chris Snyder's "broken testicle" (*shudder*), but why stop there? Why just describe the pain when you can actually see the man suffer it in front of thousands of slightly disinterested baseball fans?
Phew. Glad that's over. Wait -- wait. They're showing the replay? No! NO! DON'T DO --
I think I just passed out.

When I saw the headline " Athlete suffers broken testicle " my first thought was Martina Navratalova?

Umm...OUCH!! As a woman, I admit, I laughed, but I know how much it hurts to get hit in that area as a woman, I can't imagine how painful that must have been for HIM!! I cringe in sympathy for all you men out there...

Um...so..er, um, isn't there a "cup" that is supposed to protect that area? I am embarrassed to ask...and yes, I giggled, but I also crossed my feminine legs in sympathy. That must hurt something fierce!

Well, Whoops...the cup can only do so much. They protect fairly well from head-on attacks. The hits from below? Not so much. Those are actually worse because the bottom of it gets shoved into you (I cringed just writing that).
"Fierce" doesn't begin to describe the pain. It's the only time a man wishes someone would just kill him. Quickly.

I thought they were supposed to wear a padded shield,or something. Bet he wishes he had. How does something get "fractured' that doesn't have a bone in it?

Maybe he could sell the video to "Not so Great Moments in Sports".

As a woman, I feel for him...but I'm having trouble with the word "broke". I understand strained, bruised, swollen,herniated, but what "broke"?

Would that be the REAL definition of a "foul ball"... or is that a "ball away"...??? ;-)

This isn't funny - he will lose that testicle. I had a friend that had the same thing happen to him. He was a high school baseball coach and got hit in the same place. Trust me, his testicle is history!!
