    Rowand; toughest player in the game?

    This dude defines tough.

    A few days ago he dove for a line drive in CF and just missed it. The ball went under his body and he landed on it hard and cracked a few ribs. Mind you, it is very hard to even breathe when you have a broken rib, this dude decided to keep playing. He has toughed it out the last few days not feeling good at all as he swings at 90 mph fastballs.

    Then today, he takes a 95 mph Volquez fastball right in the cracked rib. He catches his breath, stands up, and walks to 1B. Are you kidding me? This guy has got to be one of the toughest players I have seen in a very long time. Sick.

    I have viewed this guy as the "coolest" guy in the MLB for a long time. He's the definition of tough. Keep it up Aaron, you're just fun to watch, all around

    Too bad he can't hit the cutoff man. He is very tough and he is off to a good start.

    ^^^
    one of the sickest plays in all of (modern) baseball. If that were me I'd probably retire after making that catch.
