Derek Jeter becomes 32nd batter plunked in the All-Star Game
HBPs of Note: July 14, 2009 - All-Star edition
Tim Lincecum plunked Derek Jeter in last night's All-Star, making that the 32nd HBP in All-Star game history. The last time a batter was hit by a pitch in the All-Star game was in 2004's edition, when Mark Mulder hit Scott Rolen. Jeter was the 11th batter to score a run after reaching base on an all-star plunk.
So, Lincecum is now in a 32 way tie for first place on the all time list of All-Star batters plunked, and Jeter is in a 32 way tie for most plunks in the All-Star game. No one has ever done it twice.
