Last night in the game thread it was mentioned that Daniel Palka was batting .020 for the season. The poor guy went 0-4 last night, dropping his BA to .019. I took a look in Baseball-reference.com, and if this situation remains then he will own the lowest BA of any non-pitcher for a season of 60 PA or more. The current record holder is Lyn Lary, 1930s infielder, with a comparatively lofty .056 average in his final season. Tom Nieto of the Twins achieved .067 in 1988. The 60 PA threshold is of course cherry-picked for Palka's situation. Going just a bit lower, in 2011 Dodgers utility man Eugenio Velez batted a clean .000 in 40 PA. It would only take about 3 hits for Palka to get out of this position, and I'm sure White Sox manager Rick Renteria is trying to give Daniel the opportunity, but man, what an ordeal for anyone with baseball skills to go through. Ahhhhh, Small Sample Size! How you entertain me!
