Friday’s unfortunate ricochet was just the latest ball Turner’s body has absorbed this week. Turner was plunked in four straight games before Friday, becoming the first Dodger to be hit by a pitch in four consecutive games since Hughie Jennings in 1900. Jennings, it should be noted, holds the major league record with 287 hit-by-pitches in his career and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1945.
