Not easy in those situations. But boy, an Ofer. I was thinking Dunn myself, it just looked like he didn't get a hit

Wow..0 fer 37 season!!

But hey, the Tigers also have had a few players over the years who I felt that would have been better off taking one for the team by being or even asking the manager to be PH for anytime with a potted fern, bookends, or a cardboard cutout at the plate, since "it" might have been HBP or at least coaxed a BB once in a while ...lol!!



For just "some" examples: Ray Oyler, Scott Lusader, Bill Fahey, Chuck Scrivener, Steve Dillard, Torey Lovullo, Adam Everett, Gerald Laird, Dane Sardinha, Matt Treanor, Aubrey Huff, Dusty Ryan, Neifi Perez, Mike Rabelo....the Tigers certainly have had quite a few catchers, ever since Pudge left the team, and prior to Avila, who may as well just used a wooden yardstick as a bat, while at the plate...heh!!

Apologize to Eric Munson RIGHT NOW!!!

Sorry Eric, but at least Mr. Praline, of Monty Python, named all of his pets, such as his dog, cat, fruit-bat, and an halibut fish, Eric too, but unfortunately had some trouble getting a pet fish license for Eric an halibut, from the postal clerk...lol!!!

Sorry Ty, but this yahoo story is wrong.
I kept reading the story and kept thinking something is amiss. I remembered that Luis Aparicio went 0 for 40 something with the redsox back in the 71 or 72 season.
Found it.

Mmm..I think the article focused on/meant 0 for the entirety of the season, rather than the start of or during a season, KC.

Not to take away from the suckiness quotient of going 0 for double-digits anytime in a season by the otherwise great Luis Aparicio, or the Tigers' bountiful plethora of infamously horrid offensively, Tigers' players over the years, some of whom as I posted, and Rebbiv then graciously spent time researching and posted their 0-fer stats on this thread.

I read the article and understand. Turok pointed out some Tigers that were not stellar at the plate, and I just posted their longest hitless streaks. Obviously, Oyler is the leader. But, Inge of this year and Laird are not too far behind.
