Baseball players are actually very tough bros. They get shit from football and basketball fans because they're "fat," "slow," "or "unathletic"—and granted, some are—but you wanna know what manhood is? It's taking a 95 MPH fastball on the wrist, in the grill, or right on the nuts. That's tough. It's been 17 years since J.T. Snow famously took a Randy Johnson pitch to the eye and broke an eye socket (unfortunately, a Google search produced no video). J.T. Snow is a badass baseball player for that alone. In his memory, we present GIF Gallery: Hitters Getting Destroyed By Pitches.

Hitter: Will Rhymes
Pitcher: Franklin Morales
Date: 5/16/2012
Game: Red Sox @ Rays
Rhymes' forearm would be okay, but the real GIF here is Rhymes collapsing after taking his walk to first base. He'd leave the game on a cart, but didn't go to the hospital. According to Rhymes his "lights went out." Scary.
