"A versatile, power-hitting ball players, Gene Tenace has been consistently among the league leaders in getting bases on balls, leading the American League in this department in 1974. Tenace, however, will always be remembered as the man who virtually single-handedly tore apart the 1972 World Series. Seldom has a player so completely dominated a Series. His four home runs (hit in the first give games) tied a Series record. Tenace led all hitters in home runs, runs batted in, runs scored, total bases, and posted an incredibly .913 slugging average. The most impressive single statistic from that Series, however, is that Gene Tenace drove home nine runs whil no other Oakland batter drove in more than one." - By Donald Honig in The October Heroes: Great World Series Games Remembered by the Men Who Played Them (Bison Books, 08/28/1996, Page 57)
