Stat of the Night
Marco Scutaro has an 11-game postseason hitting streak, which ties a 90-year-old team record set by Irish Meusel. It hearkens back to a more innocent, meaner time where it was totally acceptable to base a nickname on a baseball player’s ethnicity or physical flaws. Scutaro’s hit tonight pushed him past Redneck Kent, Black Guy Mays, and Tiny Balls Bonds on the all-time franchise list, and while he was overshadowed tonight by Kung Fu Venezuelan Sandoval, his contributions were huge for the team, and much appreciated by manager Macrocephaly Bochy.
