Albert Pujols has a piece of the World Series single-game records for hits, runs, RBI, home runs and total bases.<\/p><\/div>\n

Most Hits in a Single World Series Game \u2013 Five<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There have been only two five-hit games in World Series\u2019 history.\u00a0 The first was by Milwaukee Brewers\u2019 lead-off\u00a0 hitter and third baseman Paul Molitor<\/strong><\/span>, who hit five singles in six at bats as the Brewers (then in the AL) beat the Cardinals 10-0 on October 12, 1982. Molitor\u2019s five safeties were matched on October 22, 2011, by Cardinals\u2019 1B Albert Pujols<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 who also went five-for-six, and slugged three home runs \u2013 as the Cardinals blasted the Rangers 16-7.<\/p>\n

Most Home Runs in a Single World Series Game \u2013 Three<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There have been five-three homer World Series games. We\u2019ve already noted Albert Pujols<\/strong><\/span>\u2019 three-HR effort (see the above section on most hits in a single World Series game).\u00a0 The most recent three-homer World Series\u2019 contest was by a player who will be taking the field for the 2014 Fall Classic.\u00a0 San Francisco 3B Pablo Sandoval<\/strong><\/span> popped three round trippers as the Giants topped the Tigers 8-3 in Game One of the 2012 Series (October 24).\u00a0 \u201cPanda\u201d went 4-4 and homered in the first, third and fifth innings \u2013 collecting four RBI. In the 2014 Series, he will have a chance to tie the only player to have two three-homer World Series games \u2013 Babe Ruth<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 Ruth accomplished the powerful feat on October 6, 1926, as the Yankees beat the Cardinals 10-5. He victimized the Redbirds again on October 10, 1928 in a 7-3 New York win.\u00a0 The Bambino started in LF in both those games.\u00a0 The remaining three-homer World Series game belongs to Yankees\u2019 RF Reggie Jackson<\/strong><\/span> (October 18, 1977).<\/p>\n

Most RBI \u2013 Six<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Three players have driven in six runs in a single World Series game \u2013 and, as you might expect \u2013 the Cardinals\u2019 1B Albert Pujols<\/strong><\/span> is one of them. \u00a0Pujols collected six RBI in his five-hit\/three-homer game of October 22, 2011. The other six-RBI games belong to a pair of Yankees, although not the ones you might expect: \u00a02B Bobby Richardson<\/strong><\/span> (October 8, 1960) and DH Hideki Matsu<\/strong><\/span>i (November 4, 2009).<\/p>\n

Most Runs Scored \u2013 Four<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There have been ten World Series games in which a player has scored four runs \u2013 including, of course, that October 22, 2011 Albert Pujols<\/strong><\/span>\u2019 game that keeps showing up here.\u00a0 The others in chronological order: Yankees\u2019 SS Frank Crosetti<\/strong> <\/span>(October 2, 1926); Yankees\u2019 LF Babe Ruth<\/strong><\/span> (October 6, 1926); Yankees\u2019 CF Earl Combs<\/strong><\/span> (October 2, 1932); Cardinals\u2019 RF Enos Slaughter<\/strong><\/span> (October 10, 1946); Yankees\u2019 RF Reggie Jackson<\/strong><\/span> (October 18, 1977); \u00a0Twins\u2019 CF Kirby Puckett<\/strong><\/span> (October 24, 1987); Athletics\u2019 3B Carney Lansford<\/strong><\/span> (October 27, 1989); Phillies\u2019 CF Lenny Dykstra<\/strong><\/span> (October 20, 1993); and Giants\u2019 2B Jeff Kent<\/strong><\/span> (October 24, 2002).<\/p>\n

Most Total Bases \u2013 14<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Short list here \u2013 Albert Pujols<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 again that October 22, 2011 game in which he collected three home runs and two singles.<\/p>\n

Doubles \u2013 Four<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Another short list. Chicago White Sox 2B Frank Isbell<\/strong> <\/span>rapped four doubles on October 13, 1906, as the Sox beat the crosstown Cubs 8-6.\u00a0 No other player has matched his four two-bagger performance.<\/p>\n

Triples \u2013 two<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A half dozen players have logged two triples in a World Series game, most recently on October 24, 1991, when Braves\u2019 2B Mark Lemke<\/strong><\/span> contributed a pair of three-baggers to Atlanta\u2019s 14-5 trouncing of the Twins.\u00a0 Others with a two-triple World Series game: Pirates\u2019 3B Tommy Leach<\/strong><\/span> (two triples in a four-hit game on October 1, 1903); Boston Americans\u2019 (AL) LF Patsy Dougherty<\/strong><\/span> (October 7, 1903); Reds\u2019 PITCHER<\/strong> <\/em>Dutch Reuther<\/strong><\/span>, who also threw a complete game, six-hitter \u2013 one run, unearned \u2013 on the day he got his two World Series triples (October 1, 1919); Yankees\u2019 2B Bobby Richardson<\/strong><\/span> (October 12, 1960); and Dodgers\u2019 LF Tommy Davis<\/strong><\/span> (October 3, 1963).<\/p>\n

Most Stolen Bases \u2013 Thre<\/strong>e<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Three bases have been stolen in a World Series game four times, by three different players. Pirates\u2019 SS Honus Wagner<\/strong> <\/span>stole second base three times (in four attempts) in an October 11. 1909, 8-6 WS win over the Tigers; and Dodgers\u2019 CF Willie Davis<\/strong><\/span> stole second base three times in a 7-0 win over the Twins on October 11, 1965.\u00a0 Cardinals\u2019 LF Lou Brock<\/strong><\/span> stole second base twice and third base once in an October 12, 1967 Game Seven win over Boston and stole second base three times in an October 5, 1968 win over the Tigers.<\/p>\n

Most Strikeouts \u2013 Five<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Back on October 1, 1932, New York Yankee George Pipgras<\/strong><\/span> came to the plate five-times in a World Series game and whiffed on each and every trip. He also, however, was the winning pitcher, giving up four earned runs in New York\u2019s 7-5 win over the Cubs.<\/p>\n

Most Walks \u2013 Four (Intentional Walks \u2013 Three)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This one\u2019s been done a half dozen times, although not since 1979. \u00a0Of more interest may be the October 23, 2002 World Series game in which Giants\u2019 LF Barry Bonds<\/strong> <\/span>was intentionally walked a World Series single-game record three times.<\/p>\n
