Indeed. What happened? Hudson beaned Soriano on the first pitch of the game last night. Pretty obvious it was intentional. Well, just for the record. Soriano didn't get "beaned"....He was hit on the upper arm. That is how a rumor quickly becomes fact. Intentional? I have no doubt. But he didn't get "beaned"...The arm and the coconut are two different body parts. Beaned is just a loose term people use when a hitter got intentionally thrown at. Atleast that's what I've always heard. If he doesn't get his arm up by his head it's a beaning. So maybe it officially wasn't a beaning but for all intents and purposes it was.
