A Rod KO’s pitcher David Huff

Indians pitcher David Huff knocked out on mound

A Rod hit the first pitch in the bottom of the 3rd from Cleveland Indians David Huff back to left side Huff’s head. Huff was knocked backwards and appeared to be out cold. A Rod appeared devastated, leaving the field for the dugout despite his 3rd base hit. The Yankees dropped the game 11 to 13 for the Indians.

On Sunday, Huff had no swelling or sign of a concussion. “I feel good,” Huff, 25, said, before thanking medical staff, the Yankees and fans for the support. “Scary experience. It’s one of those things, it could have been an inch this way and I wouldn’t be here talking to you.” NY Daily News

“A lot of the time, you hit (the ball) back off the box, hit it off the end of the handle, get jammed a little. I literally saw that ball go into his head in slow motion. It sounded like it hit a brick wall,” said (Alex) Rodriguez. “(Huff) actually kidded with me on the phone, ‘I’ll come find you at batting practice and say, ‘Is that your best shot?” My answer would have been, ‘That’s all I got.’ ”

Sorry about the video – that’s the way the ball bounces on YouTube. One minute it’s there and the next it’s been censored.
