Ouch.
If a testicular fracture is literally what it sounds like Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder may have the best reason ever to be on the disabled list a testicular fracture. I'd rather tear my ACL.
If you want more details on the injury here it is: Each testicle is surrounded by the tunica albuginea, a tough, fibrous covering that often takes the hit of trauma to the gland. Like the shell of an egg, it can be easily "fractured" or shattered when confronted by a blunt or violent force.
Oh dear god I'm even having trouble writing this.
The injury was caused by a foul tip to the groin but surprisingly Snyder was only placed on the 15-day DL.
