Feats of strength / HCM Man of the Year

I apologize that it took this long to comment on this, but I think I'm finally ready. One of our strongest Mustacheers made it pretty clear that this needed to be mentioned... and you what? He was right.

On August 12th, in that monster extra inning game that the M's won (yay)... Adrian Beltre tore his sack. His ball sack.







Now I'm fuzzy on the details at this point, but he tore it in like the 9th INNING!!!! HE PLAYED ANOTHER 5 INNINGS WITH A HOLE IN HIS SACK!!!!!!!

HE SCORED THE WINNING RUN!!!!!

Unbelievable.

Imagine the testicular fortitude (sorry) that it took!

For this reason alone (his sick D at the corner helps too), I'm making Adrian Beltre the first ever nominee for the prestigious
HCM Man of the Year
award. More nominees to follow.

Congrats Adrian, you deserve it!

he had a chance to pull himself out of the game. Kudos to Beltre, it shows a lot of balls to stay in the game

It brings a tear to my eye balls to hear junk like this Jimi. I don't mean to get testy, but these players put themselves in hairy situations day in and day out so that hard ball fans can enjoy themselves. For skinning his sack, we pay him and he in turn gives his family jewels. Don't be a dick.

Ummmm, Gonads!
