Jason Kendall plunked by 30th team (twice)
HBPs of Note: April 27, 2009
Jason Kendall got plunked twice yesterday, bringing his career total to 235, but he had never before been plunked by his former team, the Pittsburgh Pirates. He's now been plunked by all 30 major league teams - the only other player to accomplish that feat was Rondell White. That was Kendall's 10th career game with 2 HBPs, and his first 2 plunk game since July 17, 2005. Jesse Chavez became the 183 pitcher to plunk Jason Kendall, and Tyler Yates became the 184th.
Chase Utley collected his 86th career plunk yesterday, leaving him 2 short of tying the Phillies franchise record. Washington's Michael Hinkley contributed that plunk.
Tim Wakefield threw his 167th career plunk, breaking the Red Sox franchise record for career plunking, which was 166 by Tim Wakefield. He hit Cleveland's Shin-Soo Choo, who became the first Korean born player plunked by Wakefield. Tim Wakefield has now plunked batters from 10 different countries.
