Ron Hunt can rightly be described as loving the ball more than any batter in the 1971 season, when he became the first batter to be hit by fifty pitches in a single year. It wasn't an aberration either; in the last seven years of his twelve year career he led the Hit By Pitch counter in the National League.  His all-time count of 243 HBPs was the record in the live-ball era, and would not be overtaken for sixteen years. We join Ron Hunt as he leads off for the Expos as the Dodgers visit Canada for a double-header. Behind the microphone, who else, but Vin Scully. You can find the boxscore here. This game was played on June 11th, 1971.
