Zip From 1957 to 2005 – And Now One Each In The Last Two Seasons

Melky Cabrera struck out five times in today's Yankees game.  According to Baseball-Reference's Player Index Batting Gamelog Finder, this is only the second time since 1957 that a switch-batter who also throws left has struck out 5+ times in a game - with the other one being Nick Swisher of the A's, who did it in a June 29th game from last year.

Hey, it's something for Lance Berkman to shoot for next season - and maybe we can have three different guys do it for three years in a row?
