More Woody notes.
He was plonked a staggering 250 times. In MLB history, only four players have been plonked more:
287 - Hughie Jennings
272 - Tommy Tucker
267 - Don Baylor
256 - Craig Biggio
Woody was plonked early and often. He got hit a career high 21 times that rookie year in 1904, and would get hit in the double digits every full season for his career.
He got hit more times than he *struck out* in 1912, 1915, and 1917-1919. Even in his last season as a player in 1921, he got plonked twice an struck out once. For his career, he struck out 415 times to those 250 plonkings.
