Nolan Ryan?
I would also say some of the most effective pitchers are the ones that can throw high and tight without hitting the batter so they wouldn't show on the hbp meter as much.

Bender
Looking through my T206s right now...so I'll throw out Chief Bender. For no other reason then nobody else really comes to mind in these cards and you said there's some deadballers in there...
Cheers, Geno

Whenever I think of head hunters, I think of Don Drysdale. I met him as a kid and he seemed like a nice guy. I recall a story where Gene Oliver hit a home run off him, and while he was admiring the flight of the ball, he said, "Batboy, come and get my bat!" The next time up, Drysdale drilled Oliver, who crumpled to the dirt. "Batboy!" yelled Drysdale. "Come and get Oliver."
Since every thread needs card ...

another one bites the dust
Bunning is correct!
The two remaining dead-ballers. One is definitely known as a red-a*s, as they used to call them. Maybe his headhunting ways made it easier for a great teammate to stay a little out of the mire? The other is as well as known as a manager as a pitcher, although he does have the numbers... Both are in T206! Last edited by timn1; 10-27-2024 at 09:54 PM.

To wrap it up
I guess everybody lost interest in those last two headhunters -
-Joe McGinnity is the HOF pitcher with THE highest HBP in MLB history -Clark Griffith is the other one - clearly a hard-nosed hurler before he became a manager and owner- Quote:
