The Side of Sports You Never See: Hilarious Images of Your Favorite Athletes

LOOK THE BALL IN THE EYES

You better have a good health insurance plan if you want to be an athlete because sports don’t come without their fair share of injuries, many life-threatening and career-ending. Jimmy Rollings who was playing for Philadelphia Phillies got hit in the face with a pitch thrown by Cliff Lee, in a match against Cleaveland Indians.

The ball, which hit him right between the eyes, must have hurt a lot considering that while playing in high school Lee was noticed because he could throw at a speed of 91 miles per hour. It wasn’t too bad for Rollins because his performance during 2007 got him awarded the Most Valuable Player Award.
