— -- Arizona Sen. John McCain is used to playing hardball -- but not the kind where he risks getting hit in the face.

That's until Tuesday night, when a foul ball at an Arizona Diamondbacks game made a beeline for his face.

The senator seemed to take the hit in stride, joking about it on Twitter.

Tough loss for #Dbacks in extra innings last night - almost caught foul ball, but sun was in my eyes! https://t.co/xjFWzZsMRy
