Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz suffered a minor injury during warmups before Tuesday night's Game 4 of the ALDS against Tampa Bay when he was nailed square in the groin with a line drive hit by his young nephew.
Big Papi was delivering some soft toss pitches from about 15 feet away when his nephew got a good hold of one and crushed it right into his midsection.
After having some time to recover, Big Papi resumed the game of soft toss, but this time throwing pitches from his knees so he wouldn't get hit again.
