Cry a tear of joy! :D

From the San Jose Merc today:

Bochy's pregame message was simple and firm.

"The gist was it'll take everybody keeping their focus, grinding at-bats and trusting the guy behind you," the manager said. "Just get a quality at-bat and keep the line moving."

Also MSG, looks like you were right (at least in Giants history):

Dempster hit Jose Guillen with a pitch to lead off the second inning, Uribe pummeled an 0-2 slider onto Waveland Avenue, and the line moved from there. After a double, three singles and a walk, Dempster hit Guillen with another pitch -- the first time in the Giants' 127-year history a player got plunked twice in the same inning.

I am curious...

How many times in MLB history has a single player hit 2 HRs in one inning?

How many times in MLB history has a single player had 2 HBP in one inning?

How many times in MLB history has a single pitcher had 2 hits in one inning?

These three events IN THE SAME INNING are just astonishing.

There's no question all 3 has never happened and I'd wager will never again. I doubt even any two of the above has happened in one inning. Extraordinary occurrence.

And I was there!!!

Sorry, not trying to rub it in. I turned to my girlfriend and her friend during the game and said this exact thing. They didn't care much, but whatever. Honestly I was most pumped about Bumgarner getting two hits in one inning. Awesome
