Inge plunked 30 times at Comerica Park (not in one game)
HBPs of note: September 13, 2009
The Detroit Tigers hosted the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park yesterday, and the Jays paid back the hospitality by hitting Brandon Inge with a pitch - making him the first batter to be plunked 30 times at Comerica Park. Placido Polanco is the next most plunked player at that park with 21, but he didn't get hit yesterday.
Jeremy Guthrie hit Mark Teixeira for the 2nd time this year, tying Vicente Padilla for the league lead in plunking Mark Teixeira. Guthrie pitched for the Orioles, and Teixeira was widely rumored to want to sign with his home town Baltimore team last winter before accepting his contract with the Yankees, so the Orioles might have incentive to plunk Teixeira because of that. But, it's more likely that Guthrie has a personal vendetta against the Teixeira family for their blantant disregard of the "I before E" rule.
Luis Castillo got up to 503 plate appearances without being plunked this season, but Pedro Martinez ended that streak yesterday.
