visit an AL park, get hit by a pitch

Craig Biggio has been hit by 12 pitches playing in interleague games in American League ballparks, but the Astros are only tied for 6th among National League teams in getting hit by pitches while visiting the AL. The Florida Marlins lead the way with 51 interleague plunks on the road, largely at the hands of the Devil Rays (23 times) and Red Sox (10 times) - the two biggest plunkers of National League visitors.

Most HBPs by NL batters at AL parks (through today):

Through 2005, the most inhospitable AL parks to visit for the National League batters have been Fenway Park, and Tropicana Field (both are places Biggio has never been plunked). The Devil Rays have plunked the most visiting National Leaguers with 49, but the Red Sox had a higher difference between the number of batters they hit and the times they got hit. Visitors to Fenway Park have been plunked 46 times, while only hitting 23 Red Sox batters. Tropicana Field visitors have plunked 27 Devil Rays batters while getting hit 49 times.

*Interleague play began in 1997, the year before Milwaukee moved from the AL to the NL, so they hosted interleague games as an AL park in the '97 season.
