World Series Single Game Hitting Records

World series records of every type appear in the following chart. Find out which players truly perform well in October and who holds every major World Series record in a game.

"We're talking about Albert Pujols, a guy who should get mentioned with Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson. So I'm glad this happened in a World Series game, so he could get mentioned with those guys, because I really do believe that, at the end of his career, he really should be mentioned for the greatest player of all time -- right-handed or left-handed." - St. Louis Cardinals Teammate Skip Schumaker in USA Today (Bob Nightengale, 10/23/2011, 'A day later, Pujols and Mr. October discuss historic Game 3', Source)
