Remember when we shared that disturbing photo of a hockey player who took a puck to the face and called it the grossest sports injury of all time? Well, that is probably still the grossest photo, but Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton’s latest Instagram upload is coming in at very close second. In case you missed it last week, Stanton was hit directly in the face by a fastball while he was at bat in a game between the Marlins and the Milwaukee Brewers. Below is the full photo of the initial injury and how it’s healed so far.
Keep in mind this is gross and graphic, so make sure you want to definitely see this before you continue to scroll.
Again: As we’ve warned you time and time again with these things, if you’re eating, you might want to put the food down for a moment.
It was a fastball to the face. You know this isn’t going to be pretty, so you still have the option to not look.
That’s enough of a warning. If you choose to look at the photo below, it’s on you, not us.
