Utley plunked 96 times (not all in one game - that'd be a record)
HBPs of Note: July 11, 2009
Chase Utley collected his 13th HBP of the 2009 season yesterday, bringing him within one of this year's plunk leader, Kelly Shoppach. But Shoppach hasn't been plunked since June 15th so the momentum may have swung back in Utley's favor in the HBP race. That was also Utley's 96th career HBP, which leaves him tied for 75th all time with Gary Gaetti, Reggie Jackson, Geoff Jenkins, and Reed Johnson. That was also Chase Utley's 40th plunk at Citizens Bank Park. 10.2% of plunks recorded at Citizens Bank Park have been Utleys.
Jason Giambi also got plunked yesterday, and that's 164 for him. He's still the third most plunked lefty ever and the most plunked lefty ever born in California. But, Chase Utley is the 4th most plunked left-handed Californian, so if he continues his pace from the last few season, he should have no problem surpassing Giambi by the time Utley finishes his career.
