Count on Mark Berman to get the story right, the announcement will be made on Tuesday.  Bob Allen was only a month off and also got the day wrong.  And, Berman even allows us to link to the story,

"Biggio also finished 13th all-time in runs scored (1,844) and set a modern-day record with 287 times being hit by a pitch."

Too bad that's not true.  Bidge would have tied Ee-Yah Jennings.

I emailed her, and she corrected it and emailed me back.  She's the best.
