Twins Catcher Christian Vazquez Got Hit by Foul Ball in a Painful Place and MLB Fans Felt Awful for Him
Being a catcher on a Major League Baseball team is not an easy job.
It can be a very painful, gig, too, with foul balls being rocketed back at you from such a short distance, leaving you no chance of getting out of the way in time.
Twins veteran catcher Christian Vazquez knows all about that experience. During Wednesday’s game against the Brewers, he was hit by a foul ball in a very painful place and did his best to walk it off.

Ouuuuuuuch! He was somehow able to shake that off and remain in the game.
MLB fans felt awful for him:
I’ve been watching this game and felt terrible for him as a man. That’s gotta be painful.
