According to Baseball-Reference: "Derek Jeter is the only player to have the opportunity to play in every Yankees World Series game since 1996. In fact, with his six World Series games this year, Jeter has now become the all-time leader in World Series games played since divisional play started in 1969."
There are 13 players who have played in at least 25 World Series games since divisional play started in 1969. There are 10 players in between Jeter's high of 38 games and the 25 games that Chuck Knoblauch and Tino Martinez played in the World Series. Can you name those 10 players?
Put your answers in the comments below. I'll reveal the correct answers later tonight. Good luck!

Three that come to mind right away are Paul O'Neil, Bernie and Reggie. Then I figure some Braves woud make the list, definitely David Justice. Not sure if these 3 players played in enough games - Ryan Klesko, Mark Lemke and Jeff Blauser.
ReplyDeletePaul O'Neill (27 games), Bernie Williams (32 games), and Reggie Jackson (27 games) are all on the list. As is David Justice (36) who Jeter just passed.
ReplyDeleteMark Lemke (24), Jeff Blauser (17), and Ryan Klesko (15) miss the cut.
6 more!
I will also guess Jorge Posada (aren't I brilliant).
ReplyDeleteAs for some other non-obvious guesses, how about Manny Ramirez and Dennis Eckersley?
Jorge Posada is on the list with 29 games.
ReplyDeleteManny Ramirez misses the cut with 21 and Eck does as well with only 6 games.
5 more!
