identify7Well for some getting a walk or getting hit by a pitch is a deliberate method used for getting on base, this is true. But it isn't quite as common anymore.
But Brian, according to your logic: getting on due to an error is praiseworthy. Maybe it is.
Id like to see the statistics for true on base percentage which included all of the above as well as hits other than home runs. My guess is McGraw would top that list.
