Thread: Who is the best post season baseball player ever ?

reggie jackson

George Brett.Reggie probably wins if we assign points for drama.Among pitchers, I won't argue against Bob Gibson.----------Let's compare.Reggie, career -- 9864 at-bats, .262/.356/.490Reggie, postseason -- 281 AB, .278/.358/.527Reggie had some amazing moments, but had some real stinker playoff series as well. He hit a little better, overall, in the postseason than he did in his career.Brett, career -- 10349 AB, .305/.369/.487Brett, postseason -- 166 AB, .337/.397/.627WOW!!!And, for fun, another guy who stepped it up in October:Will Clark, career -- 7173 AB, .303/.384/.497Will Clark, post -- 117 AB, .333/.409/.547Now that's clutch.

MANNY damn ahole

Reggie Jackson, Mr. October.If you didn't say after 1960 i would have said Whitey Ford. He has the most World Series wins.

Lou Brock. In 3 post season series he had 4 HR, 13 RBI, 14 SB, and batted .391 with a .424 on base ave and a .655 slugging pct.For pitchers, believe it or not it would have to be John Rocker. He pitched in 20 post season games and had 2-0 record, 3 saves and a 0.00 ERA. That's right, in 20 2/3 innings in the post season he did not give up a single run. Mariano is pretty impressive as well going 8-1, 34 saves and a 0.77 ERA.

Reggie Jackson if you're talking best post-season hittersCurt Schilling or Josh Beckett for post-season pitchersJosh Beckett has been phenomenal in october for the red sox these past few years
