Is this on the Rangers, or in all of MLB?
Also, does this mean the most games in which they went 0-fer, or the most games played without getting a single hit all season?

A lot of current and former A’s being mentioned.

Ryan Howard
Jason Varitek
Tony Pena Jr
JR Towles (long shot choice since he only played 54 games, but he only had hits in 20 of those games so he might just qualify)
And… uhh… Daric Baton.

On second thought
I’d like to revise mine. Forget Towles and add Jeff Francouer.

I stole no one from above...
though Pena, Varitek and Swisher were all appealing. Especially Varitek considering AJM’s recent posts.

I got two...
and they were the top two (Sweeney and Clark)! I can’t believe Wes Helms wasn’t in the top 5. That guy is an 0-fer waiting to happen.
