	An Unofficial History of the Beanball
		The most famous player to have his career curtailed by a beanball was Hall of Fame catcher Mickey Cochrane, whose skull was fractured by a Bump Hadley pitch on May 25, 1937.
		This was the golden era of brushbacks, dusters, high-hard-ones, and beanball wars.
		The scariest beanball of the 1960s was the Jack Hamilton pitch that struck Boston's Tony Conigliaro in the left cheek in 1967, sidelining Conigliaro for a year-and-a-half.

	Beanball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Beanball" is a colloquial sports term for a ball thrown at an opposing player with the intention of striking him such as to cause harm, often connoting a throw at the player's head (or "bean" in old-fashioned slang).
		In baseball, a beanball is a pitch, similar to a brushback pitch but actually intended to hit the batter it is thrown at, often in the head.
		The amount of hazardous beanballs thrown during and previous to the 1950s caused Major League Baseball to require that all batters wear batting helmets, starting in 1956.

	SAN FRANCISCO / Baseball player cannot sue over beanball pitch / Majors or college, it's part of the game, state high ...
		A baseball player who is hit in the head by a pitch has no grounds for a lawsuit because beanballs, even at the community college level, are part of the game, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
		But the justices, citing such experts as Sal Maglie and Don Drysdale, ruled 6-1 that getting hit by a pitch, even deliberately, is one of the inherent risks of baseball and that victims can't turn to the legal system for redress.
		Even under that rule, Kennard said, whether a deliberate beanball is an inherent risk of baseball is a factual question that should not be resolved without further hearings or a trial.

	RE: Coach found guilty of ordering beanball for autistic kid
		Unethical yes, by illegal no. I think it is a terrible thing this coach did, but i think getting a headline in the paper is enough punishment for giving a kid, who knew the "risks" of baseball, a little bruse.
		It isn't a crime to be a jerk, it just reflects poorly on yourself which he has most certainly done.
		Since all players on his team had to play, he didn't want the autistic kid to hold his team down, so IN PRACTICE he had one kid repeatedly throw a baseball at this kid's head to injure him.
