On Thursday during the third inning, Royals' Billy Butler hit into a double play.
↵It was the 25th time this season that had happened. The Royals record for number of times hitting into a double play is 26 set in 1982.
↵Butler is on pace for 35 total this season.
↵The MLB record was 36, set by Jim Rice in 1982.
↵Butler is certainly part of the future but may be setting MLB records for the wrong reasons.
