Top 10: Mr. Octobers

The Poet · 10-23-2009, 03:20 PM

Molitor, in 1982 = 7 games (31 AB), 5 runs, 11 hits (all singles), 3 RBI, .355.
In 1993 = 6 games (24 AB), 10 R, 12 H, 2 HR, 8 RBI, .500.

Berra, select 5 of 14 Octobers:

1953 = 6 games (21 AB), 3 R, 9 H, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .429.
1955 = 7 games (24 AB), 5 R, 10 H, 1 HR, 2 RBI, .417.
1956 = 7 games (25 AB), 5 R, 9 H, 3 HR, 10 RBI, .360.
1957 = 7 games (25 AB), 5 R, 8 H, 1 HR, 2 RBI, .320.
1960 = 7 games (22 AB), 6 R, 7 H, 1 HR, 8 RBI, .318.

And it's not just about the rings, I agree with you - in three of the above there was no ring for Yogi, thanks to Dodgers, Braves, and Pirates.

I'm not saying Paul Molitor wasn't great, I'm just saying Yogi Berra IS a Mr. October.

How about his worst 5?

Not even counting his last two where he hardly played, his BA were:

.063, .158, .200, .214, .222

You play in 14 playoffs (WS only for Yogi) you're bound to have good years sometime. Heck, look at A-Roid! He's had some good postseasons with Seattle and NYY and he certainly isn't any Mr. October. Here's his top five averages in any series out of 10 (ALDS, ALCS) .455, .421, .409, .368, .313.

Things that make you go
