Harrison Bader continued his torrid home run surge in the postseason, drilling his fifth playoff long ball to give the Yankees the lead in game four of the ALCS.
The no-doubt blast pulled Bader into a tie for second place on the Yankees’ all-time home run list in a single postseason, matching Reggie Jackson’s iconic 1977 postseason, where he hit more than half of those home runs in the clinching game of the World Series (Bader has played in two fewer games than Jackson did).
Bader is now one behind the all-time franchise mark, shared by Bernie Williams in 1996, Alex Rodriguez in 2009, and Giancarlo Stanton, who needed just seven games to hit six home runs in 2020.
In a postseason where the Yankees have been mainly starving for offense, Bader has been a consistent bright spot, regardless of his spot in the lineup.
