Well, yes, I have been nailed by a hard thrower, but he only made it to AAA, so you have me beat, AND, it hurt like hell. What gets me about ARod was all these other Yankees getting hit, and they're not rolling around in the dirt (BTW, ARod was hit on the non-operated hip), but the Yankees moan-and-groaned so much, that the pitcher got thrown out of the game on some weak excuse that he was gunning after ARod. Any other team or player, nothing would have happened. The Yankees roll over and play dead against the Red Sox, then all of a sudden, they start acting like bad asses against Cleveland? What the heck, that's a day late, and ten dollars short. I think ARod just needed some more face time on tv, just to remind people he's still alive -- as if that 460 foot bomb wasn't enough to remind everyone what a great player he is.
