Entertainment / Baseball / Beanball: A pitch that is aimed at the batter, often his head. The pitch is thrown to intimidate hitters or to obtain revenge when the opposing pitcher has already hit one of the thrower’s teammates. A dangerous practice that is less common than it was in baseball’s earlier years. Often, if a pitcher beans a hitter, both he and his team’s manager are thrown out of the game and face even longer suspension, depending on the severity and obviousness of the pitch.
