That works out to hitting every 125th batter he faces or once every 30 1/3 innings.
Martinez:
Total batters faced in career: 8286
Total innings pitched: 2079
Total hit batters: 99
Which works out to hitting every 83rd batter he faces or once every 21 innings.
Pedro has hit as many or MORE batters than Roger every season for the past 7 years, including leading Roger 44-27 in the last 4 years alone. At his current pace, when Pedro pitches to HIS 17653rd batter, he will have hit 210 of them. But yet Roger is considered the classless headhunter. Why?

I'm going with the numbers here - Pedro hits more batters per pitch than Clemens. As far as classless goes - I bet being hit by a classy pitcher and a classless one feels the same - pretty shitty!
