"Baseball isn't about feeling good," according to Jimmy Rollins.

The Phillies superstar shortstop has channeled his inner tough guy for a new Dick's Sporting Goods commercial.

The ad features J-Roll talking to a couple of kids who have found a pair of comfortable cleats.

The hilarious twist is that the former MVP takes pitching machine baseballs off his chest throughout the ad.

The funniest part is when J-Roll does his best Mr. T facial expressions while taking a string of baseballs right off his torso.

Watch the entire ad and see if it makes you hurt -- with laughter.
