Move over, George Brett.
The greatest Royals player of all time and the franchise’s only player enshrined in Cooperstown no longer boasts the most career postseason RBIs.
Brett also had another playoff record broken Tuesday during the World Series opener at Kauffman Stadium.
First baseman Eric Hosmer’s sixth-inning sacrifice fly substantially aided a two-run rally, but it also gave him 24 career RBIs in the playoffs.
That’s one more than the 23 RBIs that Brett racked up in 43 postseason games between 1976 and 1985.
Hosmer totaled 12 RBIs in 15 games last season and already has 12 RBIs in 12 games this postseason with at least three more games guaranteed.
