Babe Ruth Oct. 6, 1926 hit (3) home runs in one World Series game, then amazingly repeated this feat, hitting three more homers on October 9, 1928!
Reggie Jackson Oct.18, 1977 also hit (3) home runs in one world series game.
Ruth two feats came in the same place, St. Louis' Sportman's Park, a field that was the site of Mickey Mantle's second ever MLB homer on May 4, 1951. Apparently, this field wasn't built to hold Yankee batters because Mantle's homer (vs the St. Louis Browns) left the stadium entirely and landed across the street in a car dealer's lot!
