The Red Sox are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1967 “Impossible Dream” team during Wednesday night’s series finale against the Cardinals. Jordan Leandre took the mound to throw out the first pitch. With past players lined up behind him, Leandre wound up and fired to home... juuuuust a bit outside. The ball hit photographer Tony Capobianco right in the family jewels.

To his credit, Capobianco had a sense of humor about it:
Yikes...
