For a minute there was silence when Cleveland Indians left-hander David Huff scared the home crowd of 47,000 at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, dropping to the pitcher’s mound after New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez drove a line drive hitting Huff in the head .Every pitchers worst nightmare , Huff was struck just above the left ear. Rodriguez hit the ball so hard, it ricocheted almost into the right-field corner, perhaps 275 feet from home plate, which allowed him to take second base with an RBI double.

The Yankees had taken a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning but Yankee Stadium, with almost 47,000 in attendance, had turned nearly silent. The incident ended on an up note after medical staffs from both teams attended him for a few minutes and carted him off the field, Huff gave the “thumb’s up” sign. He was on the way to the hospital, but he was OK .It is said Rodriguez was so distraught, he reportedly left Yankee Stadium to go to the hospital to visit Huff.Huff is so OK and is reported, to be back in the clubhouse after the game. A little woozy, but all present and accounted for.
