Chris Coghlan becomes 2nd Chris ever plunked for the Marlins
HBPs of note: August 30, 2009
The big story yesterday was that Chris Coghlan collected the 1000th plunk in Marlins franchise history, and it was even mentioned in the media, if you looked hard enough. If you went by past stats, you'd never have guessed that a batter named Chris would have received the Marlin's 1000th plunk, because only 1 of their first 999 plunks was recorded by someone named Chris. A player named Mike would have been a better guess, since they had 8.3% of the Marlin's first 1000 plunks. Including Coghlan, 10 batters born in Florida have now been plunked 74 times in franchise history.
In other baseball action yesterday, Aaron Rowand was hit by a pitch for the 106th time in his career. That extends the record for players born in Oregon, which he already owned. Jason Bartlett got his 35th career plunk, Geoff Blum got his 30th and Matt Diaz got his 25th. And, Fred Lewis recorded the 900th HBP by a batter born in 1980.
