How many players have hit homeruns in 4+ post-season games in a row? Here is the list -
| Rk | Strk Start | End | Games | AB | HR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Carlos Beltran | 2004-10-11 | 2004-10-17 | 5 | 18 | 6 |
| 2 | Evan Longoria | 2008-10-11 | 2008-10-16 | 4 | 17 | 4 |
| 3 | Jim Thome | 1998-10-11 | 1999-10-07 | 4 | 14 | 4 |
| 4 | Juan Gonzalez | 1996-10-01 | 1996-10-05 | 4 | 16 | 5 |
| 5 | Jeffrey Leonard | 1987-10-06 | 1987-10-10 | 4 | 13 | 4 |
| 6 | Reggie Jackson | 1977-10-15 | 1978-10-03 | 4 | 14 | 6 |
| 7 | Lou Gehrig | 1928-10-05 | 1932-09-28 | 4 | 11 | 5 |
.
Note that Beltran, Longoria, Gonzalez and Leonard are the only ones to do this in a single post-season. And, none of them won rings in the year that they did it.
