Holy moly.

Stud running back here at the JUCO goes down with a season, perhaps career-ending injury.

Somehow, took a shot to one of his nuts.......(Hold on.) Nut ruptures........find cancer.

Not good times.

In a way, that's probably a blessing in disguise for the kid. Perhaps they caught it early enough.

The nut thing sounds painful, though.

Sounds painful? are you kidding me!!! holy ****!!! that's all you got!?!?!!? I feel like I should be in mourning for this guy.

Similar thing happened to a local college softball player a few years back... pops her ACL, as they're doing pre-surgery tests they discover her ovaries are full of tumors... they remove the ovaries, then fix her ACL a few months later. Likely saved her life.

It ended her softball career, but luckily Kurt Busch was able to find success driving a stock car instead. :o

And, regarding the thread title, just how holy is moly, anyway? I don't ever remember reading about moly in the Bible.

Who was that pitcher who had cancer, thought they had got rid of it, came back and then in his first game litterally threw his arm out of his socket where they found even more cancer? I think he was a Dodger in the late 80s or early 90s or something.

BTW - I threw up a little in my mouth from phantom pins just reading the starting post.

 

[kingcreole]

The only people I would wish that kind of pain on are Osama bin Laden and Fred Phelps.

Pitcher was Dave Dravecky.

80's-90's Giants teams.

Gets over the cancer, comes back, throws a pitch, and supposedly, you could hear the bone break in his arm......if I remember right, they had to amputate it.

Dave Dravecky. He pitched for the Padres and the Giants. He made a dramatic comeback from cancer in his left (pitching) arm, winning his first game, but snapped a bone while pitching in his second game. He had to retire and eventually his arm was amputated.

EDIT: Chef Bo beat me to it, and yes, you could hear the bone break, followed by Dravecky's screams of agony. I think he was pitching against Montreal.

Thanks man, thgat was going to have me staring up at the ceiling all night trying to figure out his name.

This suggests a line so tasteless that I can't, I just can't.

I must be losing my edge.

Didn't former Blue Jays and Devil Rays pitcher Tony Saunders have something similar happen to him not once, but twice?

I don't recall that he had cancer, just that his pitching arm snapped literally in half in two different games, years apart.

 

[BYH]

Saunders played for the Marlins and Rays, and yes, his humurus (sp?) bone snapped in half twice. Forced him to retire at 26, though he made a brief comeback in spring training last year with the Orioles.

He was also outed as a steroid user in Canseco's book.

Speaking of Saunders. I was at the game in Tampa when he first did that to his arm against Texas.

I was sitting down the third base line and everyone could hear it snap. It was pretty gruesome.

Oh yeah, it was the Marlins. And that would make sense with the steroids allegation, I guess.

Still, one of those gruesome injuries you don't forget.

Speaking of which, remember Jason Kendall's foot pretty much falling off when he twisted it on first base running out a grounder against the Brewers about five years ago?

That was Theismann-esque. They said his foot was attached to his leg by just the skin.

Dave Dravecky, John Birch Society.

 

[DocTalk]

Dravechy gave much of his time lecturing about his perspective on cancer and much more (unheralded) in hospitals visiting kids with cancer.

 

[Chief Noc-A-Homa]

Isn't this exactly how they found out about John Kruk's cancer ... bad throw to first and he took it in the boys. Upon serious examination, he found out he had cancer?

 

[DyePack]

Dravecky got the W in that game, though.
