HBPs of note - Sept 21, 2008
Chase Utley got hit by another one, this time thrown by Chris Volstad, bringing his Phillies record season total to 27. Only Steve Evans has been hit by more plunks than that while batting exclusively left handed, with 31 in 1910.
In New York, the Yankees played their final game at the current Yankee Stadium, but nobody got hit by a pitch. That means that the last player to get hit by a pitch in Yankee Stadium was Derek Jeter, who got plunked by Jim Miller on Saturday. That was the 138th of Jeter's career and his 66th at Yankee Stadium.
Also in plunk milestone news, Mike Cameron got hit by Danny Herrera for his 80th career HBP, and Seth McClung hit Jerry Hairston Jr. for McClung's 20th career hit batter. On Saturday, Justin Verlander threw his 40th career plunk, and CC Sabathia threw his 50th.
And, Mark Teixeira got hit by Scott Feldman yesterday, giving Teixeira a career total of 53. That moves him into 2nd place on the all time list among players with the letter X in their names, passing Richie Sexson. Only Nellie Fox has been hit by more pitches than Teixeira, among players with X in their last name, but he's got a pretty good lead, at 142 caree HBPs.
