hit by pitches

[pmeares17]

who has the most career hit by pitches in the nl?

[imgreat95]

That would be Ron Hunt, Jesse. He was once hit by 50 pitches in one season.

Did you know that John McGraw was once kicked out of a game because HE had been hit by 5 pitches in the game. He was never awarded first base though, and the umpire eventually just kicked him out.

Jesse... i KNOW you said career.. ad the answer is Ron Hunt with 243 times over a 13 year career. The 50 thing was just bonus coverage for being you.
