Craig Biggio has passed Don Baylor to set a new record for being hit by a pitch with number 268 coming from BK Kim, although I doubt Baylor had the same protection Biggio has on his arm. You could probably fire a cannonball at Biggio and he would have no problems putting that heavily armoured appendage in front of it.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but respect for guys like Biggio who get the job done any way they can, especially at the top of the order, but some of the armour these guys wear is a tad excessive. How long will it be till someone comes to the plate wearing hockey goalie pads?
