The HBP in the scorebook gave Biggio the post-1900 major-league record for a career, one more than Don Baylor and 25 more than Ron Hunt.
Among Americans age 60 and older examined in the NHANES III, HBP was found in 60% of non-Hispanic whites and 61% of Mexican Americans (NIH, 1990).
Diuretics and beta blockers are often initial drugs used to treat HBP, but unfortunately, both drug classes can worsen diabetic control, produce unfavorable lipid profiles and actually increase the frequency of diabetic complications, such as hypoglycemia and peripheral vascular disease.
