Record Book : Hit By A Pitch Team Records

Teams hitting teams more often than any others. Not the friendliest stat book to be included in and one must wonder how many were intentional when you see eight hitters being struck in a nine inning game. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the team records for being hit by a pitch.
