Yep, and here they are: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... reit/GGe9K

His 678 plate appearances last year resulted in just one GIDP, the 4th most PAs for a player grounding into just one DP. However, Craig Biggio beats all four of them, because he had 744 PAs in 1997 without grounding into a single one.

Anyway you can tell the number of games Ichiro has started since 2001 where he was not the leadoff hitter?

He batted 3rd ten times in 2004, and three times in 2002: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... reit/BRuVR

Never batted 4th.

Batted 5th once, on August 3, 2004.

Batted 6th twice:

Batted 7th four times: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... reit/9XcM9

Batted 8th twice:

Batted 9th three times:

Looks like it is just those 13 games where he batted third in 2002 and 2004.

He was a sub in all the other games where he didn't bat first. So the answer looks to be 13.

Crap, I did all that but neglected to see if he was the STARTER in those games. Oh well, you can figure it out from the links. :)

I went to 4/28/02 and I was disappointed to see him not in the starting lineup... he did pinch hit though. Im pretty sure hes only started 1st and 3rd in his career. . the rest (except maybe 4th) was pinch hit
