When a batter strikes out four times in a game, it is known as the golden sombrero. Five times and the sombrero turns platinum. To strike out six times is sometimes called a Horn, named for the former Baltimore Orioles hitter Sam Horn, one of eight players to accomplish the feat.

Unfortunately, there is no catchy name for drawing five walks in a game, an achievement that Mike Baxter of the Mets accomplished Saturday night against the San Diego Padres, becoming just the 100th player since 1918 to pull off the feat.

In terms of scarcity, drawing five walks or more in a game is less common than hitting three home runs or throwing a no-hitter. Baxter drew his five walks in a nine-inning game with no official at-bats, narrowing the list to 29 batters. It was just the 11th time since 1955, when intentional walks started being tracked, that a batter walked unintentionally at least five times without recording an at-bat.

The record is six walks in a game, last accomplished by Jeff Bagwell in 1999 in an extra-inning affair in which he had eight plate appearances. Only three times since 1918 has a batter walked six times in a game, making it rarer than a perfect game or an unassisted triple play. To find an accomplishment with the same scarcity, you would have to go to a 20-strikeout game for a pitcher.

But nothing has beaten the game that Jimmie Foxx of the Red Sox had against the St. Louis Browns on June 16, 1938. Stepping to the plate six times in a nine-inning game, Foxx walked each time. It is not known for sure if any of the walks were intentional (at least one news account at the time suggested one of the walks was), but Foxx was batting .349 at the time and was on his way to 50 home runs and 175 runs batted in, making it likely that he was being pitched around in some fashion.

The strategy, intentional or not, did not prove effective for the Browns, mostly because of the batter who followed Foxx in the batting order, Joe Cronin.

Cronin, like Foxx a future Hall of Famer, was 4 for 6 and drove in four runs in the eventual 12-8 win for the Red Sox. Foxx, other than drawing at least 24 pitches from the Browns’ pitching staff, scored two runs.

While none of Baxter’s walks were overtly intentional, it does not appear that the Padres were very intent on throwing the outfielder a strike, either, although no one would confuse Baxter with a hitter like Foxx or Bagwell. Just five of the 25 pitches thrown to Baxter during the game went through the strike zone. One factor might have been the 72-point difference entering the game between Baxter’s .310 batting average and the .238 mark of Andres Torres, who followed Baxter in the lineup.

If that was indeed a factor in all of the walks Baxter drew, the strategy worked just fine, with Torres going 0 for 4, although it should be noted that the Mets won the game.

Perhaps the most impressive part of the evening for Baxter was that his on-base percentage increased by 35 points, to .425 from .390, with the five walks accounting for 35.7 percent of his season total.

Now the feat just needs a name.
