I will deal with the major leagues only from 19th century to present. I`m good on baseball history, records, statistics, ballparks. Try to stick to on-the-field stuff. I`m not interested in personal off-the-field stuff like spouses, girl friends, drug habits, salaries, mascots, etc. If you already know the answer to the question, please don't ask it. I don't want to play "stump the expert."

Expert: Tom Schott - 8/28/2008
Question
Pat Burrell's 0 for 7 last night (other highlights: golden sombrero, 10 LOB, and 0 for 5 the night before) got me wondering about the most ABs a player had in a game without getting a hit....has to be more than 7, but is double digits possible?
Answer
Matt,
Double digits is possible, indeed. There have been five players in MLB who have gone 0 for 10 in a game, including two guys who did it in the same game. (I can only give you these figures for 1956-2008; I cannot go earlier, so I suspect there may be more.)
April 15, 1968 Tommy Agee & Ron Swoboda, NYM @ HOU, 24 innings
May 12, 1972 Danny Thompson, MIN v MIL, 22 innings
Sept 11, 1974 Wayne Garrett, NYM v STL, 25 innings
June 3, 1989 John Shelby, LAD @ HOU, 22 innings
