Quentin plunk streak update

The White Sox, for some strange reason, decided that Carlos Quentin might need a day off after getting hit by pitches in 5 consecutive games. He didn't get in the game at all last night, which means he can continue his streak tonight if he's back in the lineup. Luke Hochevar is throwing for the Royals tonight, against the White Sox, so he'll have the first few shots at extending Quentin's streak. He's hit 5 batters this season, but none of there names started with Q.

Espn.com reports that 5 games is the longest plunk streak in the live ball era (post-1920), which basically means if anybody ever had a longer streak, nobody, including Elias Sports Bureau, bothered writing it down.
