Coolopolis next quiz - who is this and what did he do that was so freakishly unique?

We have another winner - in 1971 Montreal Expos second baseman Ron Hunt set a record that will probably never be broken, he was hit by a pitch 50 times in a single season. For the uninitiated, getting hit by a pitch is the same as getting a walk or a single, so his feat helped the team win a game or two.
