In honor of the All-Star Game, the Play Index is free through July 19th. Kick the tires a bit (maybe you’ll want to subscribe) and enjoy.

What fun! I used it to look for players who struck out in every plate appearance. The record (in modern ball) appears to be 6, held jointly by Kyle Davis and Justin Duscherer. Meanwhile, Daniel Cabrera came up three times in his last interleague game and went down on strikes every time, extending The Record That Will Never Be Broken to 14 strikeouts in 14 career at-bats; his one SH mars what would be a truly perfect record of futility at the plate.

I believe JSE is looking for someone who has a SO in each PA.

Cabrera doesnt qualify because he has 14 SO in 14 AB, but counting his Sacrifice, he has 14 SO in 15 PA; impressive but not perfect.

In honor of the All-star Game, can you post the all-time Yankee stadium HR hitters? Winning picthers?
