Baseball Players with the Most Home Runs in a World Series Game

Albert Pujols, Third Player to Hit 3 Home Runs in One World Series Game (nydailynews.com)

Albert Pujols! Wow!  Three home runs in a single World Series game.

The last player to do it was of course Reggie Jackson, back in 1977.

Only three players have ever done it.  Babe Ruth is the third – he did it twice.

All together, 42 different players have hit more than one home run in a World Series game 50 times.  Including his 3-home run games, Ruth has had a mutliple home run World Series game four times – most of any player.

Chase Utley, Willie Aikens, Mickey Mantle, Duke Snider and Lou Gehrig are the others with multiple, multiple home run games in the World Series.
