Arizona Catcher Chris Snyder “Fractures” Left Testicle

July 3, 2008

This story brought me to my knees on first read. In a game Monday night Arizona Diamondback catcher Chris Snyder “fractured” his left testicle after a foul tip shot into his grundle. The play occured in the fourth inning when Milwaukee’s Cory Hart swung at a low pitch.
As of Tuesday Snyder was placed on the 15-day disabled list and now he is expected to have surgery- despite an earlier report.
When RBI heard of the terrible mishap, we asked around to find out what exactly it means to “fracture a testicle”. Unfortunatley, the word fracture has nothing to do with a bone in this case.
According to eMedicine.com, a testicular rupture or fractured of the testis refers to a rip or tear in the tunica albuginea resulting in extrusion of the testicular contents. I think I would rather have one of my arms cut off. OUCH!
RBI’s advice: FOR GOD SAKES PUT A HELMET ON THE OTHER HEAD!
One thing is for sure….this Diamondback will not be circling the bases for a long time!

You mean he wasn't wearing a cup? Damn that must hurt.

Kaz Matsui was on the DL with an "anal fissure" in April.

WebMD says:

Anal fissures are caused by vigorous stretching of the anal canal. A fissure may develop if you are constipated and try to pass a large, hard stool; if you don’t relax your anal muscles (sphincter muscles) during a bowel movement; or sometimes after repeated diarrhea.

Good call. I can't imagine which would be worse. Anal rippage or nut crackage. I gotta believe a broken ball has got to take the prize.

I don't believe this. Even if that was the reason, wouldn't the club help the dude out and say he sprained his ankle or something?

Rome had a great line on his show today. "Aron Rolston, the dude who was once trapped by a boulder on a mountain and broke his own arm only so he could saw it off with a pocketknife in order to walk down the mountain to safety cannot believe how tough Chris Snyder is."

I would doubt anyone in the MLB wears a cup. Apparently they think it constricts motion and that is worth possibly losing a nut.

idk bout worst injury though, watching Nick Johnson completely shatter his leg was pretty bad, only the Livingston injury has topped that in recent memory.

Moises Alou's broken leg, Jason Kendall's broken ankle, and Tony Saunder's broken arm where are really bad also.

He had to have been wearing a cup. Only a retard would play catcher and not wear one. Cup or not though, taking a ball 90mph + in that area will hurt regardless. When I was in Pony League a kid cracked his cup just for running into another fielder on a pop up.

Pretty sure catchers are required to wear cups.
