The Stros’ future Hall-of-Famer Craig Biggio set the modern Major League record for being hit by a pitch this afternoon in Denver during the Stros’ game against the Rockies.
The Rockies Byung-Hyun Kim nailed Bidg in the 4th inning, which was the record setting 268th time that Bidg has been hit by a pitch. Bidg replaces Don Baylor as MLB’s modern hit-by-pitch record holder.
The folks over at Plunk Biggio are going nuts. By the way, that blog has the best disclaimer that I have seen in the blogosphere:
Moral disclaimer: The author of this blog does not support or endorse intentionally throwing at Craig Biggio.
