So here's the reverse of the other quiz. Which HOF starting pitchers tallied the most HBP per batter faced?

There were seven MLB HOF starters who hit more than 1% of all the batters they faced in their careers. That might not sound like a lot, but it's 5 to 6 times as many as the guys in the other quiz.

Hank O'Day, who was elected as an ump after being a rotten pitcher for a few years, meets this benchmark but he doesn't count. These are actual HOF pitchers.

Four or maybe five of these I think I might have guessed, as they have reputations as fierce competitors (aka "mean SOBs") on the mound. But the other two I would never have guessed.

Three are from the deadball era, or even a bit earlier.

Two from the 1960s, more or less, but Bob Gibson is not one.

And two from post-1990...

Two are lefties.

Good luck!
