Larry the first time I heard of "Taking One For the Team" was when I was a kid (1950's) at Ebbots Field in Brooklyn... The Dodgers had the bases loaded, and the pitch was "Inside" I personally think the batter could have leaned back.. but he just turned his back toward the pitch & got hit by the ball scoring the winning run.. (it was the 9th inning) People were saying he "Took One for THE TEAM"
