The MLB playoffs opened on Tuesday night, with the Yankees and Twins playing in the AL wild card round. It will be a night that Sanchez may always remember, but not for good reasons, as the catcher took a foul ball right to the groin in the middle of the game.

Oh... that's going to hurt for a while... and his teammates know it.

For what it's worth, Sanchez stayed in the game, and he actually got a hit in his next at bat. Not bad considering that most guys probably would have been inconsolable for several days following that, cup or no cup.
