Men Everywhere Cross Their Legs and Weep Silently for Adrian Beltre

Baseball injuries are usually run-of-the-mill things like pulled hamstrings, groin injuries, strained shoulders, etc.

But sometimes they’re just friggin’ horrible.

Just ask Mariners 3rd baseman Adrian Beltre, who finds himself on the disable list due to a most unfortunate, funny-but-scary type of injury.  In last night’s Seattle game, Beltre, while manning third, took a ground ball in the most unkindest (for men anyway) of places…his sack.

Did I mention Beltre doesn’t wear a cup.

That sound you hear is a million guys simultaneously crossing their legs and making whimpering noises.

Nothing says funny like a ball to the nuts…until you hear how seriously hurt Beltre really is.  Seems there was some tearing of the testicle (OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!) and some internal bleeding (not good).  The team said it is going to wait to see if Beltre requires surgery or not, and depending on what transpires, his season may be finished.
