Tom Kirkendall calls our attention to the news that Astros second basemen Craig Biggio was hit by a pitch for the 268th time today, passing Don Baylor to claim the modern Major League record.

It’s not entirely clear if congratulations are in order, but the crew at Plunk Biggio reacted with enthusiasm, and apparently got some attention from ESPN earlier.
