... were played, and one man's testicle was fractured . Chris Snyder, after a very well placed foul tip, is both less of and more of a man than any of us. I'll be damned if he didn't stay behind the plate and finish out the inning despite his yet to be discovered, horrific injury. If I were in his shoes, I would have needed to be completely immobilized and airlifted to the nearest trauma center. Here's to you, Chris Snyder. I watched you wince through a night on the job despite a fault line in your manhood, proving true the old adage that you'll always see something new on a trip ...

Breathe. Let it set in ... Alright, a few thoughts here: 1) You can fracture your testicle?

In the same article, Ketchum notes that the team has ...
