Wikipedia - "'Beanball' is a colloquialism used in baseball, for a ball thrown at an opposing player with the intention of striking him such as to cause harm, often connoting a throw at the player's head (or 'bean' in old-fashioned slang). A pitcher who throws beanballs often is known as a 'headhunter.' The term may be applied to any sport in which a player on one team regularly attempts to throw a ball toward the general vicinity of a player of the opposite team, but is typically expected not to hit that player with the ball."
