Philadelphia Phillies' Jimmy Rollins gets hit by a pitch from Cleveland Indians' Cliff Lee in the fifth inning of a baseball game Monday, June 18, 2007, in Cleveland.
Most of the time, it's hard to make a compelling photo out of a batter at the plate in a baseball game. Usually it's a photo of a swing before contact, or after contact, or something that just misses the moment, because it's hard to time a shutter click with a 90 mph ball.
Then, every once in a while, all the elements come together, when you can't see what's happened in front of you, because the camera's mirror was up and blacked out when the moment takes place.

Ouch !! My question now is: Did the pitch break any bones in his face? Years ago, I saw a picture of a player with a big black eye from a pitch. His eye was thrown just a bit off-orbit and he never was able to hit a ball again. I hope that doesn't happen to Ronnie Williams.
Jimmie Rollings, sorry.
