Interesting that 2/3 players on this list not in the HoF have excess baggage (Rose and Bonds). Ironically the third has this in his bio:

Over his career, Biggio gained a reputation for being hit by pitches. Some have even gone so far as to proclaim him the "king of hit batsmen."[3] On June 29, 2005, Biggio broke the modern-era career hit-by-pitch record, previously held by Don Baylor with 267. He is second to only Hughie Jennings on the all-time list with 287. Despite being hit by a record number of pitches, Biggio never charged the mound,[4] and had no serious injuries as a result of being hit by a pitch.

Further irony: Need I point out where Biggio played his entire career? :)
