Willie Harris, Infielder Extraordinaire

I was casually watching some of the Rockies-Nats game yesterday before the Giants game started, when in the bottom of the 4th a groundball was hit towards Willie Harris playing 2nd base. The ball took a hop right in front of his glove and pegged him square in the nuts, causing Willie to crumple to the ground in pain as he reached out to try and grab the ball and finish the play despite having the most pained expression on his face. Needless to say, the runner was safe at first and Willie Harris needed at least a 5 minute injury timeout to recuperate from this episode. Watching the replay in slow motion was probably the funniest thing I have seen during a baseball game in 10 years, but I can not find a clip of that play to rewatch it over and over and over again. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you fine folk could help me search for a video record of that play. Does MLB.tv premium let you go back and watch recently archived games? I suppose I should also make this post on Purple Row, but I don't really enjoy interacting with Rockies fans.
Thanks in advance!

Not a Clip
But some pictures. Surprisingly it wasn’t even the worst play by the Nats during the game.
Do they know to win the game a team has to actually score at least once?
From that recap:
Austin Kearns takes off for second, is picked off, dives midway to the bag as if he were sliding towards an imaginary middlebase, and eventually is tagged out, allowing a Rockies reliever to get a win without throwing a pitch.

I thought this was gonna be a thread about how we should trade for Willie Harris. I’m glad it isn’t.

Here is a recap video of the game, which does show the ball-busting grounder, though it doesn’t focus on it, sadly.

Watch the condensed game on MLB.com (it’s the second from the far right in the Multimedia section). It’s just after the 6 minute mark.

Seriously, don’t all major league infielders know to wear cups?
I remember Barry saying once that one of the reasons he’d never want to move to first was because he didn’t like wearing a cup.
