No one will ever question Gary Sanchez's toughness after Tuesday's American League Wild Card Game.

The Yankees catcher--coming off a year of up-and-down defense--may have earned more respect on one foul tip than he did catching hundreds of innings this season.

In the top of the sixth inning, Sanchez took a foul tip to an area no player ever wants to experience pain.

Despite the direct hit, Sanchez stayed in the game.

The reaction from Sanchez's battery mate, David Robertson, told the story.
