  • Derek Jeter HBP In 1st Inning Of 2009 All-Star Game

    Posted by on July 14th, 2009 · Comments (4)

    Tim Lincecum nailed him on the hand/wrist.

    Derek Jeter now joins Elston Howard (by Turk Farrell in the seventh inning of 1964) and Thurman Munson (by Jerry Reuss in the first inning of 1975) as the only Yankees to be hit by a pitch in the All-Star Game.

      Maybe I missed this, but how many players have scored twice in a All Star Game w/o collecting a hit?

      I think he’s the first to do it since Nellie Fox in 1961:

      I had horrible flash backs to when daniel cabrera hit him last year and he hit just over 200 for a month. Looks like hes ok though

      Turns out that Jeter and Fox are the only ones to score 2 with no hits:
