Ty Wigginton vs. Dan Wheeler

Filed under: UncategorizedAndy @ 3:57 pm

These two were traded for each other, and it was neat to sue Ty’s batter-vs-pitcher page to find the three times he faced Dan:

  Car# Year Date          Tm   Opp Score       Inn RoB Out Cnt Pit Play Desc.
+-----+----+-------------+---+----+-----------+---+---+---+---+---+-------------------------+
     1 2004 2004-09-03    PIT @HOU down   6-8  t 8 ---   1 1-1   3 Flyball: CF
     2      2004-09-05    PIT @HOU down   5-10 t 9 ---   0 0-2   4 Flyball: LF
     3      2004-09-10    PIT  HOU ahead  5-1  b 8 -23   0 2-2   3 Groundout: SS-1B          

They all happened when Wigginton was with Pittsburgh. I can’t believe they never met in any exciting interleague battles between Houston and Tampa Bay!

I also like that Wigginton’s B-R abbreviation is “wiggity”. Wasn’t that a hit for the Fresh Prince? :)
