Welcome to Blood Week. We put out the call last week for your tales of of blood, violence, gruesome injuries, near-death experiences, mayhem, and blood. Many of you came through with submissions, which we'll be posting throughout the week. If you have a story and/or photos to share, email tips@deadspin.com, with Blood Week in the subject line.

What you see above is an X-ray of Ron's arm. Ron was a pitcher in a community baseball league in the summer of 2010, when his right arm snapped in two during a game. Both Ron and one of his friends sent us a version of what happened at that moment, along with X-rays and photos of the arm. Click through the gallery to view the images and to read the stories as told by Ron and his friend and teammate, Bob.
