Man takes shot to marbles by pitching machine, collects $1.2 mil

Man goes to the batting cage in Florida. An employee, for some reason, told him to go and pick up the balls after the light had gone off and the pitches were complete. Randomly, the machine spit out a 60 mph pitch that drilled this man in the nuts. He was hospitalized a few days later.

Eventually, 19-year-old Lhyvann Felipe sued, and was awarded $1.2 million ($160,000 for his medical expenses, and the rest for pain and suffering). When you factor in the lawyer fees and taxes, though, he’s probably only walking away with $500,000. The Miami Herald should get in touch with this guy in three years to see if he invested this wisely or blew it on hookers and partying.

We’re taking the afternoon off to go to the batting cage.

This is one of those situations that you joke about with your buddies. “Hey man, if I pay you $500,000, would you take a shot to the nuts at the batting cages?”

Diogee would probably do it for a $1.00 and a bag of ice.

F*ck the bag of ice. Seems like a cheap method to prevent kids.

So your saying you will be using this method as birth control?

Thank you for sharing this news article about Lhyvann's balls and for your thoughts about posters' nuts but, I must tell you, straight men tend not to think that much about other men genitalia.

Also, I noticed recently you frequently use this emoticon . Well, how do I break it down to you... Let me point to a certain part, so you would get a better idea of what that is.

The emoticon is called "clueless". Yeah, right, clueless we are not, it is obvious the baldy is about to be an angry pirate. I can attest that this is NOT a pretty picture for a straight man, yet it seems to be your favorite.

Please do not shoot the messenger, sir, I am just trying to help.
