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! 1. Drysdale 2. Plank 3. Randy Johnson 4. Pedro Martinez 5. Bunning 6. 7. Last edited by timn1; 10-27-2024 at 09:53 PM. |
