Don Baylor

On this date in 1987, Don Baylor moves ahead of Ron Hunt on the all-time-hit-by-pitch list when he is hit by Rick Rhoden. It is the 244th time that Baylor has been hit by a pitch. He'll end his career with 267, putting him third on the all-time list.

"My first goal when I go to the plate is to get a hit. My second goal is to get hit."

Coach knew how to lean into the them. If he ever faced Mayday Malone during his drinking days, he sure did not lean very far at all.
