Inge reaches 51

HBPs of note: July 7, 2009

Brandon Inge was just standing around the Comerica Park batters box, waiting for a pitch he could hit with his baseball bat, when all of a sudden, BAM - Robinson Tejada hits him with a pitch. Can you believe that? That's the 9th time that's happened this year, giving him sole possession of 3rd place in the majors this season. It was also the 26th time Inge has been plunked at Comerica Park, which is the park record. Inge has been hit 51 times in all, but he needs 7 more to break the HBP record for players with a four letter last name that begins and ends in a vowel (currently 57 by Filipe Alou).

Eric Bedard hit Nick Markakis, which means that Bedard has thrown 30 of the 994 known plunks to be thrown by Canadians.
