St. Louis Cardinals' Fernando Vina heads towards first after his second base hit of the game in the fourth inning against the San Francisco Giants Friday, July 7, 2000 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. It's safe to say Fernando Vina doesn't mind taking one for the team. The St. Louis Cardinals' leadoff batter has been hit by a pitch a major league-leading 23 times this season. That's only two bruises short of his career high set in 1998 with the Brewers, and he'll likely challenge the team record of 31 by Steve Evans in 1910.(AP Photo/Tom Gannam)
