    And then there's Irv Noren who had 2 multiple GIDP games in one (1955) World Series:

    In 1093 career regular season games, Noren hit into 55 DPs.
    In the 1955 series Noren came to bat 7 times with runners on base. He went 0-7 with 5 GIDP.

    I call for an asterisk on the only Brooklyn Dodgers championship.

    Noren was batting 3rd!

    I don't remember what was wrong with Mantle that series?
