999 for Marlins
HBPs of note: August 29, 2009
Padres pitcher Wade Leblanc plunked Dan Uggla yesterday, but he only did it once. That means the Florida Marlins have been hit 999 times in team history, and are still waiting to mark off the 1000th HBP for the franchise.
Scott Rolen's 110th plunk on August 2nd got him pretty hard in the head, but he got right back in front of the horse, so to speak, collecting his 111th HBP yesterday. You don't get to be the all time leader in plunks among batters born in Indiana without knowing how to come back from a plunk in the head. Jeff Weaver threw that one, which was also the 123rd of Weavers career.
Kevin Youkilis got plunked for the 55th time in his career. He's now tied with Tris Speaker for 7th place on the Red Sox all time list. That was his 13th of the season, and he's just the 2nd player in team history to get hit 10 or more times in three different seasons. Mo Vaughn had 4 seasons with double digit plunks.
There were 9 plunks recorded in major league games yesterday, and 4 of them were thrown by pitchers born in California.
