Those pesky camera phones.

Those baseball players are certainly a sensitive lot. Consider the actions of Milwaukee pitcher Chris Capuano, who recently used his cell phone as a camera to snap a shot of the gaping wound on the left side of teammate Lyle Overbay's jaw, according to the CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

Overbay needed 17 stitches to repair the damage he suffered slamming his face into a Plexiglas shield atop a wall at Busch Stadium.

"I thought he might want a photo of it," said Capuano, who sent e-mails of the photo to Overbay and several other teammates.

"His mom is a nurse. All the guys were getting on me [for taking the photo], then they all wanted a copy. It looked like a steak that had been butterflied open."
