Ouch! ESPN Analyzes The HBP

If you haven't been over to ESPN.com lately and checked out the article by Tim Kurkjian or seen the Sports Science video, do yourself a favor and check it out!

What It Feels Like To Get Hit By A Pitch

The video is intriguing enough, but the article dazzles with plenty of MLB player testimonials about being hit by a pitch in the big leagues.  Players discuss the fear of being hit, the pain that is endured when they are, and how they are taught not to visibly show either feeling afterward.  There is an amazing story about Don Zimmer that blows me away within the article that you will probably need to read twice to believe.

Click on the link above and read the article and watch the video.  I assure you that it is worth your time.
