Carlos Quentin extends plunk streak to 6 consecutive games
It took him 5 pitches in his first plate appearance of the game to extend the streak the longest consecutive games plunk streak in recorded history to 6. And he did it against a pitcher who hasn't hit anyone this year. Carlos Quentin has now been hit 20 times by 20 different pitches this season.
That also brings him to 39 for his career, which ties the all time record for players whose last name starts with Q. Joe Quinn had 39 plunks from 1884 to 1901 (although he may have had some un-recorded ones in those early years when there weren't bloggers to keep track of things like this).

Assuming Carlos continues his streak and continues to miss 1 game for every 4 plunks (as he has done this season), he should break Jennings record sometime in early June 2010.
And if he does that, he'll get hit around 130 times next season - which would break the single season record by 79 plunks. That would certainly be exciting to watch!
