The essence of the beanball is not just go for the player's head, it's to agitiate the opponent.
Pedro Martinez was one of the best when he was with the Red Sox back in the late 1990's. He got charged at by many batters.

pitchers don't like to throw beanballs, idiot. They do it to protect their team mates.
