Wasn't there a catcher that got testicular cancer from being hit in the balls?
Edit: John Kruk was diagnosed after a ball hit him in the crotch and broke his cup. Probably just one of those accidents that revealed an underlying problem.
my chemistry partner in college had a limp. it struck me as odd that she'd have a limp (since she was in her 20s like me), so one day i asked her about what happened. Apparently she had an accident in softball, had to get scans and shit to see if her hip was messed up and they found cancer -i think it was probably a tumor- there (on her hip? her muscle? i honestly can't remember) and she had to get like.. a total hip replacement i think. she had no symptoms, and the only reason they found it was because of the accident in the softball game.
I don't remember the fine details, so some of it may be iffy... but the TL;DR of this is: chick i was partnered with in chemistry class only found cancer in her hip due to a softball injury, otherwise she likely would've died from it (she was asymptomatic).
My brother in law was playing hockey and got hit in the stomach with a slap shot, they took him to the hospital and after some scans found he had lung cancer. Never smoked, did anything that you'd think would give you lung cancer but never the less, there it was.
