## Resource

Ron Hunt, the gritty second baseman who died at 85, redefined how players get on base—by getting hit by pitches 43 times in his career, a record no one else has come close to. Known for his fearless, mirror-practiced strategy, he didn’t care how he reached base, just that he did. With over 1,200 hits and an All-Star nod, Hunt’s legacy lives on as a symbol of relentless hustle and unconventional brilliance.
