Apart from “Owen commentary,” no two-word combination will make a man grimace like “testicular contusion.”
That utterance of the dreadful diagnosis is enough to ruin your day but imagine going through the actual pain of it.
Oakland’s Billy Burns suffered such an injury while batting during Oakland’s defeat to San Francisco overnight.
Burns left the game with a testicular contusion. Yes, it was actually announced that way.

Burns fouled the ball off a low pitch before it bounced up and connected with the one area that ought never be connected with.
Well, if Billy Burns wasn’t wearing a cup before, he’ll think twice about it from now on… pic.twitter.com/KBuprB75A3

If we can all just take a moment to pray for our fallen comrade.
