    "The ball was coming right at Adrian Beltre. But so was the barrel of Torii Hunter's bat after it snapped off in his hands in the third inning last night at Fenway Park.

    Most people would have turned their backs and covered their heads. But a third baseman is baseball's version of a hockey goalie. Beltre stood his ground and started a double play that ended the inning. The bat hit the ground a few feet away.

    "It's a little scary sometimes,'' Beltre said after the Red Sox finished off a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. "The good thing was it was low. So if it's going to hit you, it's going to hit you in the feet somewhere. When it's high, that thing can kill you. That's different.''"
