Moment of Levity: The Big Picture

BRACE FOR IMPACT

There's been a lot of hit-by-pitch action lately, and the Yankees have been no exception. After Alex Rodriguez was drilled with an Oakland pitch in the first inning last night, C.C. Sabathia retaliated with an attempted HBP of Kurt Suzuki the next inning (Sabathia missed, and Suzuki homered later in the at-bat). That all set the stage for this: Melky Cabrera getting drilled, then comically tumbling over Suzuki as he fell away from the plate. It made for a humorous scene, but something tells us that didn't make this moment hurt any less. (Ben Margot/AP)
