Always wear a helmet

4:30 p.m.: This is no laughing matter, despite the jokes that will inevitably fly after news of this breaks. It turns out that Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre injured his testicle last night after a groundball took a bad hop and hit him in the groin area. No, he does not wear a protective cup.

There was some tearing of the testicle and apparently is some internal bleeding in there. The team is going to wait a bit to see whether he requires surgery. If the surgery was to take place, he would need a month's recovery time. If there's no surgery, he'd need about 10 days to two weeks.

I think the title should be "Always wear a protective cup".

If your not smart enough to wear a cup to protect yourself from a 5 oz pitched at speeds of 90+mph, well, you shouldn't reproduce anyways...

Surgical intervention would be my guess for treatment.
