The size of a grapefruit?

The Mariners were playing the White Sox in August when Beltre was struck by an Alexei Ramirez grounder in the ninth inning. Amazingly, Beltre stayed in the game, singled in the 14th, and scored the winning run on a hit by Ken Griffey. Not bad for a guy with a torn testicle.

He paid the price later.

“When I look down, after the game, it wasn’t a pretty sight,’’ Beltre said. “My testicle got the size of a grapefruit. Thank God it didn’t really damage anything. It took me two weeks. It was a tear. A lot of blood inside, but it didn’t damage anything. Everything is OK.’’

Evidently, Adrian Beltre has an unusual take on what constitutes "OK"...

3. Had a similar experience

the first day I was able to sit in the tub, with my nuts, was worth tears of joy.

4. When I was a kid, I had a condition which was a twisted nerve or vessel

in my sac. One ball swelled up really big! It also was painful.My Mother took me to the doctor and he took a look at it. Remedy? Cold icepack on my balls for 20 minutes three times a day. Horrible.....

5. I thought you were talking about a tumor.

They are ALWAYS the size of a grapefruit when somebody talks about it.
