Rowand reaches 99
HBPs of note: June 10, 2009
Aaron Rowand got plunked by Jon Rauch last night, giving Rowand a career total of 99 HBPs. He's very close to becoming the 66th player in MLB history with at least 100 HBPs. He's also the all time plunk leader among players born in Oregon.
Speaking of leaders, Ichiro got his 42nd career plunk yesterday, extending his record total for players born in Japan.
Chris Iannetta got his 22nd career plunk yesterday, which wouldn't be so interesting, except that Seth McClung threw it, and it was his 22nd career hit batter as well. And that's always fun.
Seven of yesterdays 10 HBPs were thrown in the 6th or 7th inning, and 6 of the 10 were thrown by relief pitchers. And, I totally jinxed the Yankees streak of consecutive games plunking a Red Sox batter yesterday. Nobody got plunked in last night's Yankees-Red Sox matchup.
