Via DC Sports Bog, who in turn found it via Nats Enquirer who — like everyone else who saw it live was likely traumatized — here’s home plate umpire Greg Gibson taking a Stephen Strasburg fastball right to the do re mi on Saturday:

If that video is disabled by MLB at some point today, I do hope that they make it available on their site. So, you know, no one ever forgets the late Greg Gibson’s crotch.
