Remember the last post I did about Nolan Ryan against LA Dodgers. Good cause I found another good player from that opposing team. Eugenio Velez a reserve infielder for the LA Dodgers, he set a Major League Baseball record Wednesday night(9/28) a few days after Nolan Ryan set the record back in 1981. Just a recap, in case you haven't read my last post.  Click Here! to get the insight. Back to Eugenio, he grounding out in his only at-bat to finish the 2011 season 0 for 37.
 
No hits. Thirty-seven at-bats. Never before in modern baseball history had a non-pitcher with that many at-bats gone hitless in a season since Hal Finney went 0 for 35 for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1936. Wow he even beats his record but wait, that's not all! Going back to 2010, Velez is hitless over his past 46 at-bats, which also is a record.

Reporter Dylan Hernandez wrote in the Los Angeles Times "Mattingly used Velez as an eighth-inning pinch hitter, offering the utility player a chance to hit his way out of an undesirable record. But the well-intentioned move backfired, as Velez hit into another ignoble record." Not noble? Au contraire! Velez is King of the Oh-Fers! The 0-for-37 streak might be upsetting, embarrassing and even depressing, but at least we'll know Velez for something.

On this day in history.

On this day in history. Well, actually last Monday, I just forgot to post it. Marks the day in U.S. baseball history in 9/26/1981
When Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros became the first player to pitched 5 no-hit & no-run games, in a 5-0 victory against the LA Dodgers at the Astrodome.
