	Brushback pitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, a brushback pitch is one thrown in such a way that the batter must move back to avoid it.
		It differs from the beanball in that the intent is not to hit the batter, but to force him to back off the plate, and be wary for the rest of the at bat.
		The brushback helps a pitcher to "reclaim" the corners of the plate by forcing the batter to stand farther away.

	REVIEW OF BRUSHBACK
		Known through his short career as the Brushback Kid, Blasco was merciless at throwing at batter's heads.
		BRUSHBACK is all about character, and the plot is merely a piece of corkboard for Constantine to thumbtack his creations too.

		This in hand, Brushback Average (BBA) was calculated for all pitchers with 1,500+ career innings pitched (IP) - - during the years 1900 through 2001.
		At this junction, it is significant to again stress that the statistic of BBA should be thought of in terms of a "probability" (or intent) ratio.
		Lastly, it seems that a brushback artist (as defined by BBA) was more common place in the periods 1900 to 1929, 1950 to 1969, and 1990 forward.

	Inside edition - pitcher Pedro Martinez Sporting News, The - Find Articles
		Throwing a brushback at a batter's head - a beanball - is considered immoral and marginally criminal.
		Nobody is sure - except the person throwing the ball - whether the pitch is meant to be a brushback or a beanball.
		Batters usually point to the outcome and the situation: a pitch at the head probably was meant to be a beanball, and a pitch at the head immediately after a home run definitely was meant to be a beanball.

	'Brushback' by K.C. Constantine
		Despite his continuing problems, Blasco remained immensely attractive to women, including those he abused, a hero to men who knew him well and a legend in the community for his brief, but successful stint as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox.
		He got his nickname, "Brushback," because as a rookie he threw at Williams' head in batting practice.
		That is quite clear in "Brushback," where we have both middle-class and working-class characters, and the focus, once more, is on the strength and destructiveness of family life and on the power of work and money to shape and distort relationships.

		For intelligent fans (and by that, we mean those who read books–or at least the back covers) who are fed up with end-zone celebrations, inane sportscasters, luxury boxes, and eleven-dollar bleacher dogs, The Brushback Report will be chin-music to your ears.

		Neither of these things will happen, of course, and neither will any of the other fictional events Dave Saraiva has chronicled in his new book.
		The writing throughout The Brushback Report is at worst funny in a sophomoric, Animal House way, and at best clever on various other levels.
		Some of the entries are also pretty blue, meaning that this is probably not the sports book to give your little leaguer.
