Foul ball ball foul!

[Vermont Lt]

Ouch.

Wasn’t there a world war 2 song about Mad Adolf having a similar condition?

[DFG]

Göring has only got one ball
Hitler’s [are] so very small
Himmler’s so very similar
And Goebbels has no balls at all

That pitch is a little inside and down lowwwwwwwww

[real saxophonist]

Nope. Nope. Nope. That’s why I was always in the outfield.

You really feel a story like that if you're a man.

You really do. And yet, true to the culture in which we live, most of the comments on here are jokes. Which is fine. I get it. But there is such a double standard. I mean, let a woman get injured in anyway whatsoever, much less something involving her lady parts, and not only will then be no jokes, but we will all have to pin a new color ribbon to our lapel, organize a walkathon, and host an hour long discussion on how her injury was caused by the patriarchy.

10 DAYS? 10 months would be more like it.

He was half nuts to keep playing until the 7th.

I had a little league coach who was trying to teach us to face faster pitchers. He asked one of the Babe Ruth league boys to come and throw to us for practice, but none of the young catchers could handle his arm.

Coach put on a catcher’s mitt but couldn’t crouch comfortably down to our strike zone. He figured he could sit on a cinder block to take the strain off his knees. Well, a low fowl tip bounced off the plate and ricocheted up catching him, literally, between a block and a hard ball. One of the dads finished out that season.

Way back in my youth, when I was in little league, I just couldn’t seem to get a hit. Then, the pitcher threw inside, and nailed me in the groin. Luckily, it was a bit off the mark, so to speak, but I had a bruise for a week. Every guy in the stands (mostly dads and friends, of course), gave me a standing ovation as I walked to first base.

A few years ago a foul tip drove a big league catcher’s testicle up into his abdomen. The team doctor retrieved it in the clubhouse between innings and the catcher resumed the game.

Is that a strike ? or a ball ? I’m so confused.

foul ball to groin . . . He was seen falling over before struggling to get up

I imagine he's going to be struggling for quite some time. Poor guy.

[Albion Wilde]

Ow. Lay down with a bag of frozen peas on there.

let a woman get injured... and not only will then be no jokes, but we will all have to pin a new color ribbon to our lapel, organize a walkathon...

Hey! I was sympathetic. See post 36.

Is it Testicle Season or something?

That’s a Pete Rose ballplayer!
