New York Yankee Legends: Jose Altuve ties Bernie Williams for postseason home runs

The home run postseason record belongs to Manny Ramirez, who has 29 long balls. But second, on the list is New York Yankee Bernie Williams with 22 homers. Last night in Houston in the seventh inning Jose Altuve joined Williams with his 22nd long shot to left.

Let’s take a look at those exciting records. Ramirez played in 11 postseasons for the Indians, Red Sox, and Dodgers got 493 plate appearances (third all-time) and slugged a typically robust .544. In Game 2 of the 1995 ALCS, he got his first two postseason home runs. Most Yankee fans know him for his time with the Boston Red Sox when he was MVP of Boston’s 2004 World Series, the first Fall Classic the Sox won since 1918.
