  • Get out of the way if the ball is coming at you!
  • If you don't, the ump may not award you the base!
  • Most are accidental; but some are deliberate!
  • You may be a target if....
  • You homered in your last at bat!
  • Or if your pitcher hit one of their guys!

    • Did you know that

  • Between 1951 and 1961, Minnie Minoso
    led the American league in HBP 10 times?
