I'd never seen Marlachuk's, I couldn't watch it again.

One of the worst in terms of 'cringe factor' the first time see is the Beltran-Cameron collision from 2 years ago. As a Met fan, I'm pretty sure I suppressed an urge to throw up when I saw the replays.
Scroll down to August 11

I was at that game in San Diego. I was in the 2nd row on the first base side so I was probably about 150 away from them when it happened. I was looking right at them through binoculars when they collided, too. The shear speed they were both moving at was incredible.

Also, I remember that McCallum injury vividly. I never had any problems with watching injuries before (and I saw Theismann and Krumrie live), but ever since the McCallum injury I have to look away at any injury in any game. That was unbelievably disgusting.

Wait, are we talking about actual injury severity, or witnessing it on TV? If you are talking about injury severity, Dale Eardhart wins since he was killed. Then the necks level would be the guys like Kevin Everrett, Pete Utley, and co.

Well, severity of injury is not the same as gruesomeness. A lot of the paralyzing neck hits are completely innocuous looking.
