    Greatest Postseason player?

    Who is the greatest postseason player for you?

    some candidates are:

    -babe ruth:
    -41 games
    -167 PA
    -15 HR
    -0.326 BA
    -1.200 ops(around 200 OPS+ I think)

    Mariano rivera:
    -88 games
    -133 IP!(half of a starters full season, did any pitcher get more in the POs?)
    -0,74 era
    -39 saves

    does anyone have more advanced stats like WS or something?

    Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

    One wonders how Koufax and Mathewson lost any games in the WS with those stats...

    Lou Brock played in three World Series during the pitching-dominated 1960's. In these 21 games he had 92 plate appearances, giving him a batting line of .391/.424/.655. To top it all off, he stole 14 bases and was only caught twice.

    A batting line like that during the late 1960's????
