There are hit-by-pitches, and then there are painful hit-by-pitches. Chase Headley certainly knows what we’re talking about.
In the bottom of the fifth inning of Tuesday’s Yankees-Twins game, Headley was hit by a pitch … in the groin.

Headley remained in the game despite the painful incident. He even scored a run later in the inning.
Perhaps the blow to his personal area affected him, because Headley ended up 0-for-4 in the game with three strikeouts.
