Monte Pearson’s postseason prowess earns him spot among complementary greats

The New York Yankees have 27 World Series and easily the most rich history of postseason stars. It couldn’t be anyone else, given the sheer volume of memorable games. From the legendary “Called Shot” by Babe Ruth against the Cubs in 1932 to Reggie Jackson’s three-homer performance against the Dodgers in ‘77 and the Mr. November solo shot by Jeter versus the D-Backs in 2001, there are simply too many to count.

Those three examples relate instances when a Hall of Fame legend rose to the occasion in October (or even November in the case of Jeter); however, with so many opportunities, there were times when a good player had his moment.
