The Hit
Baseball injuries are not as common as that of other sports, especially full-contact sports. They do happen in some situations, though. Muscles can be ripped, tendons torn, and shoulders can be blown out. However, getting hit right in the face is one of the most brutal injuries in baseball, and Jimmy Rollins can certainly testify to that.
This happened before he won the National League MVP in 2007 when the Philadelphia Phillies played the Cleveland Indians. Cliff Lee from the other team sent the 90 miles per hour fastball straight into Rollins’s face. Though he wasn’t severely injured, we’re sure it’s an incident he wouldn’t forget soon.
