Watch Out Duke, He Comes A-Rod
Posted by Steve Lombardi on October 30, 2009
Alex Rodriguez has struck out 3 times in both Games 1 and 2 of the 2009 World Series. Via Baseball-Reference.com's Play Index Post-Season Batting Game Finder, here are the "leaders" for most games in the post-season where the games were 9 innings or less with 3+ whiffs in the contest:
Games Link to Individual Games +-----------------+-----+-------------------------+ Duke Snider 5 Ind. Games Ryan Howard 5 Ind. Games Reggie Sanders 4 Ind. Games Jim Edmonds 4 Ind. Games Willie Wilson 3 Ind. Games Dan Wilson 3 Ind. Games Chase Utley 3 Ind. Games Alfonso Soriano 3 Ind. Games John Shelby 3 Ind. Games Alex Rodriguez 3 Ind. Games Manny Ramirez 3 Ind. Games David Ortiz 3 Ind. Games John Olerud 3 Ind. Games Willie McGee 3 Ind. Games Evan Longoria 3 Ind. Games Kenny Lofton 3 Ind. Games Reggie Jackson 3 Ind. Games Chone Figgins 3 Ind. Games
Then again, perhaps it will be Ryan Howard that A-Rod has to "chase" for this title?
