Jim Mason.
Mason, a utility infielder who played with the Yankees between 1974-1976, hit a home run in the 7th inning of Game 3 of the 1976 World Series in his only WS at bat.
Since then, Geoff Blum has also accomplished the feat. Blum, playing for the Chicago White Sox, hit a home run in the 14th inning of Game 3 of the 2005 World Series in his only WS at bat.

39 World Series at the old StadiumThe New York Yankees played in 39 World Series, and won 26 championshps. They were all played in the old Yankee Stadium as 2009 is the first year in the new stadium. Only Time will tell if the Yankees win their first pennant in the new Stadium, and win the Word Series. They will then need another 38 pennants to match the old stadium.

Derek Jeter
There was no no-hitter in the World Series in 1958. The only no-hitter in the World Series was pitched by Don Larsen of the New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers on October 8, 1956, at Yankee Stadium.
Derek Jeter won both awards during the 2000 season.
Don Larsen of the New York Yankees, who stymied the Brooklyn Dodgers 2-0 in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series at Yankee Stadium.
Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in a World Series. This event happened in the 5th game of the 1956 World Series at the old Yankee Stadium when the Yankees beat the Dodgers and won the World Series after two more games. This perfect game was also the only perfect game to be pitched in the MLB playoffs. It used to be the only no hitter in the playoffs until Roy Halliday pitched a no hitter in game one of the NLDS against the Cincinnati Reds. This was Roy Halliday's excellent first appearance in the MLB playoffs.
Two facts emerged in the 1956 Perfect Game World Series Yankee victory against the cross town rivals, Brooklyn Dodgers. The first fact was clearly seen. Yankee pitcher Don Larson pitcher the game from the stretch position rather than from a full wind up one. The second unusual item was a comment made by Yankee superstar Mickey Mantle. In one of his autobiographies, he goes out of his way to mention that his fellow teammate, Don Larsen, had been "drinking alcohol" prior to the Game. Even though many years had passed since the World Series, it seems rather unusual for Mantle to have made such a remark in writing.
The first World Series that was televised was the 1947 World Series between the Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers. It was only shown around the NY area.
Williamsport, PA won its first and only Little League World Series championship in 1947, defeating Lock Haven, PA. It was the leagues first ever World Series.
