The Side of Sports You Rarely See: Hilarious Images of Our Favorite Athletes That’ll Make You Chuckle

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 of which are life-threatening and career-ending. Jimmy Rollings, 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. This is because Lee could bowl at speeds of 91 miles per hour, and this is the reason he got noticed for his talent when he was in school. We guess it wasn’t all bad for Rollings because his performance in 2007 got him awarded the Most Valuable Player Award.
