Jake Cronenworth is one of the toughest players around and he proved it again when he was hit by a pitch on the chin and stayed in the game. The Padres second baseman has been hit by a pitch 65 times in his career which is a franchise record, and that leads us to our next TWIST question.
Who holds the modern-era (1901–present) MLB record for being hit by a pitch with 285 HBPs?
- Don Baylor
- Ron Hunt
- Dick McAuliffe
- Craig Biggio
- Craig T. Nelson
Answer: Craig Biggio. Here’s video on the HBP that broke the tie held with Don Baylor and gave him the modern record all to himself.
If you thought it was Craig T. Nelson you chose the famous actor from the hit TV sitcom Coach which ran from 1989 to 1997 on ABC and earned him an Emmy award
