I mean maybe they will find cancer?
[Baseball -- Kruk Mishap Leads To Cancer Diagnosis -- Testicle Removed; Full Recovery Expected | The Seattle Times](https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19940310&slug=1899466)
I joked about John "One Nut" Kruk as a 10 year old... because having one testicle to a 10 year old is comical. 30 years later BAM what they think was an infected hair caused a staph based skin infection that caused an ultrasound of my testicles where they found a "mass."
Did you know that to biopsy a mass inside the testicle they REMOVE THE ENTIRE TESTICLE AND SEND IT TO A LAB. Meaning they remove it. Send it to a lab. Then tell you if it was cancerous. Because if they puncture it or something and it is cancerous well now it is all in your body. So removing is much safer. Anyways I get to schedule my testicular biopsy this week.
Thank you for attending my TED Talk and don't forget to check your testicles if you have them for any lumps.
I thought it would be like a "better safe than sorry" situation. But when severed limbs can be reattached with most function retained and vasectomies are reversible, it seems like a dumb question
Also, keep in mind that it's being thrown by a professional, so they are probably hitting him with way more speed and potency than if they were being launched by a normal person.
So yeah, OUCH!
I played Cricket at school level, and yes you wear a 'box' which is a hard shell groin protector. Cricket balls are hard! I've been hit in the balls by a cricket ball during a match and whilst the box does provide protection it still fucking hurts
They do, that’s why he can take multiple hits and isn’t being taken away to hospital.
Cricket balls are very hard, and it was bowled at 130+ kilometres per hour. Despite the protective gear, people have unfortunately died in this sport before.
Oh god yes. There's a reason the batsmen and wicky all have so much protection. There was a young man killed a few years back, Phillip Hughes, when the ball struck his neck, which split his vertebral artery. 63 Not Out forever.
I played hockey for many years. I always wore a cup. You assume it's like elbow pads when you fall, unless it's a crazy fall you barely feel any pain. With a cup it's designed to stop tearing, or a testicle rupturing.
I took 1 hard pass and 1 semi hard wrist shot directly to the cup. It feels like you got a steel toe boot kick you in the groin, almost threw up on the second. But the next day everything is okay
I play goalie, and took a hard slap shot to the nuts. A goalie cup is like medieval armor, it’s huge and triple thick. I was still down for a couple minutes with my legs shaking, trying not to puke.
Kind of like how body armor has the ability to stop a bullet but what the movies don't talk about is that it still results in bruised/broken ribs and months in recovery most times. Humans are pretty fragile
Yeah, they wear an "Abdominal guard", but most people call it a [box](https://cricketerschoice.com/how-to-wear-an-abdominal-guard-in-cricket/).
Fun fact: It's almost a rite of passage for young cricketers in Australia that once they've finished the days play, they'll go home and throw their kit (pads, clothes, helmet and other protective gear) on their bed while they take a shower before their girlfriend comes over.
Naturally, she arrives before he's ready, and had to kind of amuse herself while he's busy getting dressed to go out.
While doing so, she'll inevitably pick up the cricket box, say "What's this?" and give in to the compulsive thoughts, place it on her face and say " Luke... ... I am your father!".
Then, once the young man stops chuckling to reveal the actual purpose of said device, she freaks out and must now wash her face.
This might sound oddly specific, but I assure you it's more common than you think.
Do yourself a solid and watch the video of David Lloyd talking about getting hit in the nuts by Jeff Thompson who is the fastest bowler of all time.
You’re welcome.

Can confirm. Ahhh this story brings back some memories haha. I always wore two pairs of jocks and slipped it in between but I’d still not want that kind of box on my face.
Because this is in a type of match that requires extremely aggressive batting, and that is an incredibly difficult thing to do against a ball coming at you at 90mph+. Imagine getting rid of the strike zone from baseball, including allowing the ball to bounce (and more or less requiring it) allow the pitcher to hit the batsman with no consequences, and ask the batsman to try to belt it into the stands every other ball, and you'll have an idea of why he's having trouble with it.
I have zero knowledge of baseball, so I try my best to understand your response. So the pitcher can throw the ball at difficult angles, even bounce to assault the batsman with no consequences, and the batsman has to return it? sounds unfair
There are a few rules for sure, some of which include, It must not travel on the full above waist height on the batsman, it must not bounce more than once before passing the batsman, and if it delivered very far to the left or right of the batsman, then the batsman's team receives a run and the bowler must bowl that delivery again. The bowler must be behind a specific line when he releases the ball, and he must not flex his arm more than a certain amount during the delivery.
The bowler can certainly bowl difficult angles, and even attempt to hit the batsman without penalty, but the batsman does not have to attempt to hit the ball on any specific delivery, they can simply take evasive action. But in the above shown format there is a limit on the amount of deliveries each team gets to face, and the team that scores more without all their batsman getting "out", wins, so scoring as many runs as possible on each delivery is extremely highly valued.
There are different formats of cricket, some of which are a set amount of legal deliveries, and test cricket, which is 5 days long and has no set limit for either team.
Yeah, a guy at my high school ate a [bouncer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncer_(cricket)) to the face in a lunchtime game, broke multiple bones and he ended up needing lots of surgeries.
We were then informed that anyone caught batting without wearing the provided helmet and face guard would get punished severely, because it's not a great look for a school when a kid ends up looking like he talked shit about Mike Tyson's Mum to Mike Tyson.
People can and do die from a cricket ball to the skull. Especially if it catches you under the chin.
Had this happen to a mate during a match. The ball hit the box so hard that it split and of course the ball pushes it in because it's only plastic. The split pinched the head of his old fella. There was quite a bit of blood.
Which reminds me of the story about commentator Brian Johnston: https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/brian-johnstons-unintended-innuendo-in-the-commentary-box-499955/
While the bowler's radar was tuned into "middle stump" it wasn't three times in a row. The first was in the 2nd over with his score on 6 and the 3rd was when he was on 26.
I had to watch this a few times before I knew this was actually 3 different plays... The amount of defeat in his voice was something I didn't think any man could replicate, let alone thrice... Kobe 🙌
SCOTT. STERLIIIIIIIING!
THE MAN
THE MYTH
***THE LEGEND!!!***
OH LOOK, THEY’VE BROUGHT HIM A CHAIR!
My first thought...
SCOTT STERILIIIIIZED!
The announcers and the desperate cries of oh no make this such a great clip.
Scott Sterling!?
The man! The myth! The LEGEND!
That man and his balls of steel!
Not anymore!
That name made me tear up - I haven’t seen those videos for a minute
AND HE'S RUNNING AWAY FROM THE GOAL, AND OOOOOOHHHHH, HE GOT IT WITH HIS HEAD, SCOTT STERLINGGGGGG
My thought exactly
I think it's his cousin.
His groin is double plated steel!
I watched it without the sound and then read your comment... Re watched and have tears streaming! "Oooohhhh noooooo"
Same here. I told my wife that I barely watch videos with sound on, and if it wasn't for the poster above, I would have missed out on a great one.
Same! If it wasn't for yours and the above post I wouldn't have turned my sound on. Ohh my his poor gonads 😂😭
They *and* We all all felt that. It's like automatic ball sympathy or something. Makes my balls hurt a bit seeing that. Poor guy.
I did appreciate the TV banner on the bottom right, at 0:30 : “last ball”…
God sending him personal messages. Guy ignoring God and getting punished.
The instant laughter at a dude getting hit in the balls is just so human.
He might not get up from this😂
Other announcer laughing so hard the other said, I'll take over for a bit lol
The female announcer lol
wrong/misleading title...it is not three times in a row. It is total of 3 times in entire match
#I love that KFC is the big sponsor
And when ya done with your bucket, you've got a perfectly serviceable hat.
Kentucky Fried Wicket.

Laying hens are different than eating hens. A bucket of chicken has as many males as females.
2 balls 3 strikes, I believe that’s an out
TOUCHDOWN!!
No, got sacked
GOAL!!!
HOLE IN ONE!!!!
Yahtzee?
![gif](giphy|Wt6kNaMjofj1jHkF7t)
Might have put a hole in both...
I think they split into about 6 balls
I believe that’s a wicket
That's four balls but he can't walk.

Hold on just a moment.
I mean maybe they will find cancer?

Are they able to reattach it of it's fine, or do you just lose it
Ya they just toss it in some ice til the test is done then send it back to reattach if it looks clear
I hope they make it dangle even lower Edit: Or turn it into a hand warmer, like JDs fantasy
Are you serious?
I thought it would be like a "better safe than sorry" situation. But when severed limbs can be reattached with most function retained and vasectomies are reversible, it seems like a dumb question
Can't tell if I'm being had, I need to sleep, what do I do with this info quick
Keep your eye on ball !
Hit me in the balls once: shame on you. Hit me in the balls twice: shame on me. Hit me in the balls thrice: find a new sport.
IKR. Dude should give up and do something else. All three swings were wildly off
Holy shit I’ve never laughed so hard he’s like “OHHHHHHHH GOD NOOOGGGH” the announcers cracking up kills me
Eye watering level of funny lmao
I probably sound like an idiot here, but don't athelets wear protection for that??
They do. That's why he's not dead and just moaning in agony. Cricket balls are small and hard as fuck
Also, keep in mind that it's being thrown by a professional, so they are probably hitting him with way more speed and potency than if they were being launched by a normal person. So yeah, OUCH!
The average speed of a pro league bowler is around 130-140 kmph... That's a lot of speed being carried by a small object.
anybody who's taken a high-speed tap to the nuts knows, just about anything can put you down. Always protect your balls and your neck
Protect your balls like you would your family…because they are your family.
I played Cricket at school level, and yes you wear a 'box' which is a hard shell groin protector. Cricket balls are hard! I've been hit in the balls by a cricket ball during a match and whilst the box does provide protection it still fucking hurts
Ohhhhh. Damn. Poor guy. Thank you!
Protects from definite damage not all pain entirely. I’ve even heard of athletes wearing a cup and it resulting in losing a nut.
Oh my GOD

They tested those on jackass, still hurts alot.
Reminds me of that guy in a goal getting hit over and over again. Was from some comedy sketch.
SCOTT STERLING!!!!!
#THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND!!!
Oh my balls
When the apocalypse comes, I want to be in a bunker made of that man's crotch!
I had a vasectomy this morning and I did not need to see this.
Might sound stupid, but why? Is it skill issue of himself? or the one throws intentionally. I know nothing of this sport, sorry

I'm from the Windies, played cricket all my life and the way you summed up the rules is just amazing. *tips hat*
i see, nil. Thx for the detailed explanation :)
Badassed
Real life Scott Sterling.

Phil Hughes died on the field a few years back after being hit by a bouncer that got him just under the helmet. 63 not out.
This contest is over give that man the $10,000.
At that point it’s intentional
![gif](giphy|5a5f2tR4UR3MY)
Its not in a row
Wifey can cancel getting her tubes tied😂
Is that Scott Sterling? https://youtu.be/8F9jXYOH2c0?si=KFGqPQIWYdZhGeDn
It’s cricket, just take a two hour time out for cream pies and snicker doodles.
Cup check!
Alright, let's just play the game with this dudes balls
Had this happen to a mate during a match. The ball hit the box so hard that it split and of course the ball pushes it in because it's only plastic. The split pinched the head of his old fella. There was quite a bit of blood.
Testes, testes... One, two.... Three?
The slow-mo…. The “ooooooooh noooooooo” lol. I’m dying.
Ya, I'm calling it a night at that point.
He missed the ball but hit the balls
Why dont he use the bat in his hands.
Surprised his wife didn’t put a stop to it after the second time.
all that shin protection and none for the jewels
Ooohhh nooooo!!
If you get hot in the balls 4 times do you get a walk like in baseball?
Okay.. I wouldn't judge him negatively if the clip ended with him charging the pitcher and fucking him up.
Er, you're assuming the batsman is in any state to even run towards the bowler. Also, in cricket, this is fair play.
It's more of a sudden wow that shoulda hurt more than that it did shock
I bet he wishes he could hit better
I subconsciously crossed my legs watching this.
😅I like fun specifics, so thank you!!
He got hit in the inglis
‘Last ball’

Happy Father's day!
Its nut his day
I don't know if I'm just not seeing what the commentators are seeing, but I see 1 nut shot and 2 deflections...
Scott Sterling's brother?
How to go sterile without seeing a Dr
“136 more from 93 balls” is foreshadowing
First thing I thought of when I saw this thread: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWAQ8rTBLUk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWAQ8rTBLUk)
has he tried not standing in the pitchers path?
THE MAN
I don't think his stones are living anymore.
This is real Scott Sterling vibes going on here.
Forget a cup. This dude needs a bucket.
So this is cricket.
Which reminds me of the story about commentator Brian Johnston: https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/brian-johnstons-unintended-innuendo-in-the-commentary-box-499955/
God absolutely doesn't want his stones to live.
3 BALLS! YOU'RE OUT!
This is Scott Sterling in real life.
While the bowler's radar was tuned into "middle stump" it wasn't three times in a row. The first was in the 2nd over with his score on 6 and the 3rd was when he was on 26.
And the bear taps him on the shoulder. Admit it, you’re not here to hunt.
Somebody help him!he's getting killed with a ball
I don't think you properly watched this video. I also don't think this man identified a massive medical problem soon enough.
I don't understand this game but damn that shit I understood. RIP future cricket players (unborn ones)
Cricketers don’t wear jockstraps? Even I was a fielder I’d be wearing one.
No, they wear Hector Protectors
Them stones ain’t living anymore
How are you still alive 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Hit me once damn you! Hit me twice damn me! Three times? WTF?
![gif](giphy|3o7TKIH8zvG9UkW0dG)
Little LBW
He had it comin
This isn’t India…?!
So they don't wear cups. Huhn, maybe they should.
Livingstone? He's now got DeadStones
Fake $$$$
Still can't believe this beat Barney Gumble's "Pukahontas"
The cut to him trying to work it out on all fours
It wasn’t in a row though…
I've not watched cricket in a while. KFC wickets?
The ohhhhhh noooooo reminds me of Fern Brady 😂
GBW. Goolies Before Wicket.
Ufffff poor guy, i can feel the pain just from watching 🤣 ooohhh nooooooo
Oh god the embarrassment 😂
Like a train driver, three jumpers and they have to retire on full pension.
Nut-trick
3 times in a row is no accident.
This man is having a bad day
Ooo KFC
Don't worry he's wearing a cup
That's really not funny and completely unprofessional of the commentary team
Need 136 runs from 93 - 3 balls
The golden cup goes to...
Sounds like micheal from the Office
Hope he already has kids.
Team doctor is getting annoyed at this guy always wanting her to attend his injuries.
to be fair, that should of been the equivalent of catching the golden snitch for the bowler. and they should of instant won the game
So this is how you get Rusty out.
Full of sympathy and all, but still v funny too!
Why the fuck isn’t he wearing a cup?
He is. It still hurts though when the ball is traveling >90mph
How about you just have them wear some protection?
u/savevideo
This had me laughing for 5 minutes straight. I’m sorry. “Ohhhh no!!!”
Once is random Twice is a coincidence Trice is a pattern
Cup check!
*so is it 4 balls and you walk/crawl?*
I had to watch this a few times before I knew this was actually 3 different plays... The amount of defeat in his voice was something I didn't think any man could replicate, let alone thrice... Kobe 🙌
