Yes, any list of World Series records may seem like a de facto New York Yankees roll call. However, when your franchise has won 27 World Series titles and 41 American League pennants<\/a>, you get to enjoy certain spoils. I was there at Yankee Stadium in 2009 the last time the Yanks won it all over my Phils<\/a>. There was a succinct sign that said it all from a New York fan \u2026 26-2 (referring to the WS titles for each team). As much as that reminder was painful, it also reiterated the greatness and grandeur of the franchise with the blue pinstripes. This list will look at the all-time leaders in World Series home runs. It is very predominantly Yankees, but some of the most legendary Fall Classic moments came from the Bronx Bombers. Let\u2019s take the #4 train or the D train and find out the men who have blasted the most home runs in the World Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
