Thrice Hitten

Someone told me Delmon Young was plunked twice in yesterday's game vs the White Sox. As it turns out, that was a lie. A lie right to my face. Young was only hit once, but it got me wondering what the record is for getting pegged in the same game.

On 19 occasions a player has been hit by a pitch in the same game. Notably, it has happened to Reed Johnson three times! Two of those games occurred in the same season, in the same month.
