Bad Day at the Ballpark for Trot Nixon
Today's White Sox/Red Sox game went 19 innings. Checking the box score, I see that Christopher Trotman "Tricky" (Trot) Nixon went oh-for-nine. Ouch. By the way, he had 4 strikeouts. Has anyone in baseball history ever had a worse day at the plate, in terms of most at bats without a hit or a walk? Has anyone ever gone oh-for-ten (or worse)?

Well, on July 21, 1945, Philadelphia's George Kell set the American League record for most at-bats in one game without a hit, going 0-10 in a 24-inning game between the Athletics and the Detroit Tigers.
I can't find the National League record, so I don't know if this is the MLB record or not.
So Trot's performance wasn't the worst, but it is really really really really bad.
