As you can imagine, this list will be a little heavy on the Yankees. That’ll happen when you’re playing in the Fall Classic pretty much every year. Out of the 18 seasons Mickey Mantleplayed in the big leagues, he appeared in the World Series 12 times. Mantle walked away with seven titles and the most dingers ever — not too shabby, right? After not ...
What home run leaderboard is Babe Ruthnot on? There aren’t many, we can tell you that much. While he’s second to Mantle on this list, he found a way to distinguish himself from the pack. Mantle hit 18 World Series homers in 65 games played (230 at-bats). Meanwhile, Ruth needed just 41 games (129 at-bats) to slug 15 dingers in the Fall Classic. The ...
Nobody has played in more World Series than Yogi Berra, who appeared in 14 Fall Classics. With 10 rings, nobody has won more titles as an individual player, either. When looking at the backstop’s postseason career, eight of his 12 homers came during his prime — his age-27 to age-32 seasons. After posting a .731 OPS in the 1952 World Series, Berra r...
Ah, a quick break from this run of Yankee hitters. But we’re not leaving New York thanks to Duke Snider. Unsurprisingly, the Dodgers’ all-time home run leaderknew how to crush taters in October, too. Snider appeared in six World Series. His first taste came in 1949, and it wasn’t pleasant. He hit just .143/.143/.190 in 21 plate appearances. But aft...
I like measuring the legacy of star players by how long they still have a presence on certain leaderboards after they’ve retired. Lou Gehrigremains a legend for many reasons. But if we’re strictly talking about what happens on the baseball field, it’s a couple of things. He’s not only still on the World Series home run leaderboard, but he remains s...
Mr. October won five World Series titles during his Hall of Fame career. It’s easy to forget that Reggie Jacksonhad already won three with the Oakland Athletics before landing in the Bronx with the Yankees. Everyone just remembers what he did for New York the most because it grabbed more headlines. Jackson even won Series MVP honors in 1973 against...
Joe DiMaggiois yet another Yankee who won an abundance of World Series titles. Joltin’ Joe went to 10 Fall Classics and was victorious in nine. He won his first five before losing to the Cardinals in 1942. DiMaggio then went off to fight in World War II before coming back and winning the title in each of his final four appearances. From the standpo...
This is the last Yankee we’ll be talking about here, just in case you’re wondering. Outside of winning his final title (of five overall) with the Dodgers in 1963, Bill Skowronmade his seven other Fall Classic appearances with New York. He homered in all but two of his World Series appearances. Like DiMaggio, he also never hit more than two in a sin...
Similar to Lou Gehrig, Frank Robinson‘s legacy is well intact because he’s still littered all over home run leaderboards. This includes the all-time home run list, the Reds’ all-time home run list, and the Orioles’ career home run leaders. Pretty impressive stuff from a generational player. Robinson slugged 10 postseason homers during his career. I...
As you can see below, there is a three-way tie at seven World Series homers between Chase Utley, George Springer, and Gil McDougald. So why am I only highlighting Utley here? He did it in fewer plate appearances than both of his fellow hitters. McDougald needed 190 at-bats, Springer needed just 56, but Utley needed only 45 at-bats to hit seven ding...
