238 for Kendall
HBPs of Note: July 11, 2009
Jason Kendall got hit by another pitch yesterday, bringing his career total to 238. He just needs 50 more to break the all time record, but he probably won't make it this season. Chad Billingsley contributed this one, and it was Kendall's 42nd recorded on a Friday. Kendall needs 5 more to tie Ron Hunt for 5th place on the all-time list. For Billingsley, it was the 20th plunk he's thrown in the majors.
5 other batters were hit by a pitch yesterday but their combined career totals of all of them add up to only 31% of Kendalls career plunks. If you throw in the plunks thrown by the pitchers who hit someone yesterday, you get up to about two thirds of Kendall's total.
