He is still 5 games away from reaching the Games top-ten list, but only 9 PAs from reaching the PA top ten list. And while we're at it: *Werth is now 5th in all-time WS SLG, 5th in all-time OPS, 6th in all-time WS OBP *Posada is now 8th on the all-time WS strike out list. *Ryan Howard's 10 strike outs ties him for 7th all-time for most in a Series. 10 in 17 PAs puts his rate well ahead of anyone else with at least 10 Ks...the closest being Damian Miller in 2001 who had 11 Ks in 23 PAs. *This is the FOURTH time Rivera has had two saves in a World Series! Fingers did it three times (in a row). Nen did it twice. Rivera also now has pitched in more WS games than any other pitcher. *Pettitte is now 2nd in all-time WS Games started. Think about that 2nd! He is now also 9th in all-time WS IP, 8th in all-time WS SOs, and 7th in all-time BF. More on Jeter...
