Back in the day, before they sissified baseball, every pitcher threw at batters. Ryan, Seaver and all the rest. Beanball battles were the standard. A batter who came to the plate after a homerun learned not to dig in because chances were a fastball aimed at the neck was soon in coming. It made the game interesting.
