Season winds down with final plunks... except for the American League
HBPs of note: October 4, 2009
9 batters were hit by pitches on the final day of the National League version of the 2009 season, but the American League couldn't finish on time and has to play one more game on Tuesday. For some reason, the Detroit Tigers have been granted one more game for Brandon Inge to catch Kelly Shoppach on the AL HBP leader board for the year, but he'll have to do it against the Twins.
Randy Johnson hit Everth Cabrera with a pitch yesterday, which makes just 2 HBPs for the season for Johnson. That was his 190th career hit batter. The only other season Johnson has played in when he only hit two batters was 1996, but he only pitched in 14 games that year.
Edwin Encarnacion got his 45th career plunk, Guillermo Mota threw his 20th and Ron Mahay threw his 10th.
