Add Shawn Green to the list of batters reaching on catcher's interference, which I believe is #11 for the season. Eliezer Alfonzo of the Giants was the guilty party.
It's Green's first free trip to first via an overanxious catcher.
Update - Travis Hafner of Cleveland picked up #12 (or so) of the season with Mike Napoli of the Angels getting dinged for it. It was Hafner's fifth career CI.
1Henderson said the "bitter" thing about it is that he didn't get to leave the sport on his own terms: finishing on the field.
Rickey had every opportunity to realize he was done and choose to hang 'em up. Besides, why delay his HOF induction longer?
(Bob, regarding the recent leadoff man / RBI thing, I note that Rickey drove in more runners - albeit without the P hitting in front of him - with a lot less hits and a lot more walks than Juan Pierre. I still agree that it's not that important.)

I didn't see the Dodgers game yesterday so I have no idea what happened.
