Prior to yesterday's game, Colorado Rockies closer Huston Street was nailed by a line drive during batting practice. But nailed where?

Mainstream outlets like Channel 4 have settled on the right side of his lower abdomen. But Twitter nation thinks he actually took a shot in the family jewels.

Here are just some of the tweets sent out last night after Street collapsed:

That's adding insult to injury.
