WS Home Runs by Second Baseman
Posted by Raphy on November 2, 2009


Chase Utley's World Series Career has been relatively brief. Utley's 9 career World Series games tie him for 37th among  second baseman. Yet, no second baseman has hit more World Series home runs. Utley's Game 4, 7th inning blast was his 5th, tying him with Billy Martin for most ever by a second baseman. It should be noted that it took Martin 27 games at second to reach that total. Here are the leaders:
Billy Martin5
Chase Utley5
Joe Gordon4
Tony Lazzeri4
Davey Lopes4
If 5 home runs doesn't sound like enough to be the all-time leader in a category, check out the leaders at third base and shortstop. Here are the World Series Home Run leaders at the other positions:
Pinch hitter: Chuck Essegian ,  Bernie Carbo 2
