Video: Diamondbacks Catcher Chris Snyder Fractures Left Testicle Although the injury report just says that Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder is on the 15-day DL with a groin injury, the team revealed that he suffered a "left testicular fracture" Monday when hit by a foul ball. "Suspended in the scrotum, a skin pouch below the penis, each testicle is surrounded by the tunica albuginea, a tough, fibrous covering that often takes the hit of trauma to the gland," according to UrologyHealth.Org. "Like the shell of an egg, it can be easily 'fractured' or shattered when confronted by a blunt or violent force." See the video.

Barry Bonds offers to play for free.
My opinion on Bonds is no secret, however I noticed this tidbit in the paper yesterday and have been meaning to post about it. Barry Bonds' agent has offered his services to all 30 teams, at a pro-rated salary of the league minimum (at this point, about $200,000 total), even offering to play for free by donating that salary to buying tickets for the game; his trial date isn't until next March, so he would not be prevented from playing.
Despite this, apparently Barry's agent has received no interest, bolstering claims that the league is colluding to prevent him being hired.

What a country. The Feds can't lock up a guy who essentially committed treason by revealing the identity of a CIA agent. But they manage to nail Martha Stewart and now they're after Barry Bonds. It's a travesty. Who gives a big giant turd about this guy shooting steroids? No one seemed to care when Babe Ruth was boozing it up and nailing hookers two at a time. They're baseball players. Main question - can they play baseball? And Barry Bonds can. He should be playing. And the government should be chasing the folks who stole 9 billion dollars from taxpayers in Iraq.

My friends and I went to see the Yankees play a doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians. It was a memorable day, the kind of day you talk about forever. We were so young and it was so long ago that sometimes I question whether my memory was accurate. We were sitting near the player wives (did we sneak down?) and I remember Connie Bahnsen's expression when her husband Stan Bahnsen got into a fight. Did she even exist? Someone threw an ash can firework at catcher Ray Fosse. Tony Horton crawled back to the dugout after striking out on Steve Hamilton's folly floater. Did that really happen that day? It seemed everything happened in those two games. One thing that did happen, though it seems almost mythical, is that Bobby Murcer hit four home runs in a row that day. He may not have been Mantle. But he sure was a great Yankee.
