I'm posting this here but I think it really ought to be in
		       net.sport.baseball.statistic.obscure.most

While watching last night's Angel-Yankee game (8/29), the Angel pitcher
McCaskill hit the Yankee batter, Don Baylor, in the first inning with a
pitch.  Phil Rizzuto then promptly informed us that this was a new major
league record.  This was Baylor's 190th career hit-by-pitcher in the
_first_ inning, breaking the old record of 189 held by Minnie Minoso.
GEEZ, I wonder who holds the record for the second inning?  :-)

Having gotten my weekly allotment of trivia in only one inning I switched
the dial over to channel 9 to watch the Mormons and Catholics argue some
pigskin theology.
