World Series wrapup
Pedro Martinez hit one more batter in last night's final game of the World Series, bringing his career total to 8 postseason hit batters. That ranks behind only Greg Maddux and Tim Wakefield, who each hit 9 in the postseason. Mark Teixeira got hit for the third time in the World Series, tying him with Alex Rodriguez for the most plunks in this years Series. Prior to this season, Max Carey had sole possession of the record for most HBPs in a single World Series, with 3 in the 1925 series, but now he has to share that record with both Rodriguez and Teixeira.
2009's World Series also ties the record for the most lopsided plunk totals with the Yankees being hit 6 times to Phildelphia's one HBP. The 2001 World Series saw the Diamondbacks plunked 6 times and the Yankees plunked once. Not surprisingly, in each case the team with the most plunks won.
