Plunk Everyone

Carlos Pena already held the Rays franchise record for career plunks before the 2012 season started, but thanks to his 5 HBPs this year, the Rays now have a better franchise plunk record than the Mets, and are now up to 28th place among active franchises. Rickie Weeks’ efforts this season have given him sole possession of the Brewers career HBP record, and pushed the Brewers into a tie with Larry Walker and the Rockies for the 16th best franchise plunk record among the 30 modern teams.

Below are the franchise HBP record holders for all 30 teams:

Yesterday, Brewers rookie Taylor Green picked up his first 2 major league HBPs in the same game. The last person to do that was Josh Willingham on June 25, 2005. Willingham was playing left field against Green’s Brewers yesterday.  No other Brewer has done that.

Here’s the list of every player since 1969 to get their first two major league plunks in the same game.
