AboutTom Schott Expertise 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."
Experience I've written on the subject, and I have substantial library of resources.
Publications Numerous encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine articles. One book, several book chapters.
Question What is the record for a player being hit by the ball in one game, if so how many times was he hit, who is he and what was the game.
Answer Hi Dave,
In the National League, the record is 3 times in a game. This has happened 14 times and involved 11 different players. The last player was Glenn Davis, Houston, April 9, 1990.
In the American League, the record is also 3 times in a game. This has happened four times to four different players. The last was Bill Freehan, Detroit, August 16, 1968.
