Our sporty friends at With Leather have been all over the excitement in baseball last night — from pictures of sad Red Sox faces to charts about Boston’s epic collapse to an inspired edition of the Dugout — but I couldn’t help but take one little TV highlight and share it here. Here you see Dan Johnson’s game-tying, 9th-inning home run strike a Yankees fan between the legs. I call it Baseball to the Groin. It works on so many levels!

This was actually Dan Johnson’s game tying homerun in the bottom of the ninth. The 12th inning homerun landed safely in a bullpen in left field.
With Leather’s analysis may have soul, but baseball to the groin has a baseball to the groin.
Mark Schlereth was just fapping it on ESPN to a clip of Matthew Stafford getting the ball hiked into his balls.
All right, fixed. Hopefully some more people will still correct me, though.
Booooo-rnsy… Booooooo-rnsy
Aww gawdammit, Uff.
The Braves’ collapse had heart. But the Red Sox’s collapse had a baseball to the groin.
It was Dan Johnson who hit the home run in the 9th…
Also, when I saw the scene in last nights Modern Family when the dog Stella looks at the camera, I thought of this website. You should use it next Wednesday for What’s On Tonight : [25.media.tumblr.com]
Steven Spielbergo approves
Groin/thigh same thing.
I wish that were a Yankees fan, but as this game was being played at Tropicana Field and that guy was cheering the home run hit by the Rays, it is almost assuredly a Rays fan.
I was saying, “Boo-urnsy.”
