The World Series is one of the world’s biggest baseball events, year after year. Many significant figures of this sport have forged their legend in this crucial phase of the Major League Baseball postseason.

In this edition, The Los Angeles Dodgers are slated to face off against the New York Yankees in the World Series this year, marking yet another showdown between the two iconic MLB franchises.

In what will be another showdown in the East Coast vs. West Coast rivalry, the teams will add to their storied history of competition, which has seen them go head-to-head in the Fall Classic a record 12 times.

The extraordinary talents of a complex and technical sport such as baseball appear in these decisive matches. Making a run, catching, or eliminating a batter are incredible feats that very few have the privilege of experiencing in the World Series.

When it comes to individual baseball statistics, hitters are usually the most well-known. Among their accomplishments, hitting a home run is undoubtedly every player’s greatest dream. This means that being the player with the most home runs in the history of the World Series is undeniably one of the greatest achievements any player can attain.

The players with the most home runs in the World Series

  1. Mickey Mantle, 18 HRs (14 participations)
  2. Babe Ruth, 15 HRs (10 participations)
  3. Yogi Berra, 12 HRs (14 participations)

Mickey Mantle has crushed the most career homers in the World Series, but doesn’t surprise the fact that following two places on the list are filled with Yankees players, Babe Ruth and Yogi Berra.

The Major League Baseball record for the most home runs hit by a batter in a single World Series is five, and this record has been achieved by three different players. Reggie Jackson of the New York Yankees set the record in the 1977 World Series against the Dodgers. Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies matched this record in the 2009 World Series against the Yankees. Most recently, George Springer of the Houston Astros achieved the same feat in the 2017 World Series against the Dodgers.
