107 for Tejada, 105 for Rowand
HBPS of note: August 28, 2009
Miguel Tejada got plunked by Max Scherzer last night, giving Tejada a career total of 107 plunks. That puts him in a tie for 55th place on the all time list with Pete Rose, Melvin Mora and Wally Schang. It's often been said that any time you meet Wally Schang on an all-time baseball stat list, you must be accomplishing something good.
Aaron Rowand also got plunked yesterday, for the 105th time in his career. That was his 2nd plunking this season delivered by Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jiminez. Rowand is now tied for 2nd place on the AT&T park plunk list with JT Snow. They've both been hit 15 times at the Giants home park, but they're both 12 HBPs behind Barry Bonds for the park record (which of course should have an asterisk because Bonds wouldn't have gotten hit 27 times their without the benefit of BALCO brand performance enhancing drugs).
Matt Weiters and Randy Ruiz both got hit for the first time in their major league careers, while Luis Cruz was the lucky recipient of the 300th HBP recorded by a player born in 1984.
The Marlins did not get plunked yesterday, which means they're still stuck on 998 plunks in team history.
