That's not O'Neil. That's a really young Hughie Jennings taking yet another one for the team.
Fun fact. Hughie had 3 full seasons where he had more HBP's, then he had Walks.
He also has more career HBP's then he has Strikeouts.
Still might not be as impressive as Ron Hunt throwing his less then menacing plate presence in front of 50 pitches during a much harder throwing era in 1971.
