Postseason plate appearances
Posted by Andy on September 17, 2007
Here's a very simple search: PI Post Season Pitching Even Finder for plate appearances.
Click here to see the results.
Just on that main page, two interesting things that stick out are that Tom Glavine has had the most plate appearances against, since 1903, and that Yankee Stadium has been BY FAR the site of the most plate appearances, at more than double the second-place location, Fenway Park.
If you click on Yankee Stadium and get the report, you can see which visiting teams had the most plate appearances at that arena: The Brooklyn Dodgers.

Whitey Ford is the leader, by a large margin, over Christy Mathewson. Yankee Stadium is still the leading location, with a large margin over Polo Grounds. Interestingly, 3rd and 4th place are also defunct stadiums--Sportsman Park and Ebbets Field. The next active stadium is Fenway Park, with just over a quarter as many plate appearances as Yankee Stadium.
