What was the most home runs hit in a World Series game?

Answer 1

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!

Reggie Reggie Reggie

October 18, 1977, Reggie Jackson became only the second player in history to hit three home runs during a single World Series game. Babe Ruth did it twice. 10-06-1926, and 10-09-1928 (Ruth Ruth Ruth)

During the 1977 World Series, Game 6, Reggie Jackson hit three home runs against the Dodgers. Mister October hit for a .450 average with five home runs and eight runs batted in. Jackson hit the home runs off of Dodger pitchers Burt Hooton, Elias Sosa, and Charlie Hough. Jackson won the 1977 World Series MVP Award.

Chase Utley tied the five home runs in 2009.

Two other players have since hit three home runs in a World Series game. Albert Pujols in 2011 (game 3) and Pablo Sandoval in 2012 (game 1).
