Wes Helms passes Enos Slaughter
HBPs of note: August 19, 2009
Wes Helms got hit by a 9th inning pitch from Jose Valverde yesterday, which brought his career total to 38. That moves him ahead of Enos Slaughter on the all time list for HBPs by batters born in North Carolina. Ray Durham holds the North Carolina record with 72.
The other important note about that plunk is that it was the 997th plunk in Marlins history, moving them closer to the historic 1000th plunk milestone.
Kevin Youkilis got plunked for the 53rd time in his career, but didn't need a hug this time. He's still 25 plunks short of the all time lead among guys named Kevin - Kevin Millar has 78. Albert Pujols got hit by a pitch for the 67th time in his career - he's the all time leader among players whose last name starts with P and has a J in it.
