Willie Aikens set the standard for such performances, going 2-for-4 with two homers and four RBIs for the Royals -- but his effort came in a 7-6 loss to the Phillies and, ultimately, a World Series defeat.
Bautista could join an exclusive group of players who have hit a postseason homer on their birthdays. As of now, that list includes Aikens, who went deep twice in Game 1 of the 1980 World Series, along with Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (Oct. 10, 2015) and Rays third baseman Evan Longoria (Oct. 7, 2013), the only other player to drive in at least three runs to mark a postseason birthday.
