Kiké Hernandez delivered in the postseason last night, crushing a home run that immediately shot him up the all-time leaderboard. That blast was his 18th career postseason homer, officially moving him ahead of Boston legend David Ortiz.
Big Papi Got Booted and We’re Not Mad About It (Mostly)
Okay, look, I’m not gonna lie, seeing Kiké knock Big Papi down a peg on that all-time list, it stings a little. Ortiz is a legend, a total clutch king. But hey, records are made to be broken, right? And now that Kiké’s done it, you know what I’m hoping? That dude keeps absolutely mashing. The Dodgers’ postseason run is far from over, and I need to see him pop off a couple more of those bombs. Let’s make that gap even wider.
Derek Jeter’s Throne is on Shaky Ground and It’s About Time
But here’s where it gets real spicy. Kiké isn’t the only one out there looking to rewrite history. You’ve got Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, and even Giancarlo Stanton all sitting just two homers behind Derek Jeter on that same all-time postseason list. TWO! And honestly, it’s about time someone brought some true perspective to that list. I’ll tell you, I once got into it with some fan at Yankee Stadium. This dude was absolutely convinced Jeter was the greatest postseason player ever. Greatest! And what he didn’t even realize was that Jeter racked up way more postseason games than almost anyone because back in the day, the World Series was basically the only playoff round. Come on, man. The way the expanded postseason has totally warped those record books, making it look like Jeter and Bernie Williams are undisputed gods? That’s always bugged me. I’m telling you, it needs to stop right now! So, yeah, aside from my usual rooting for the Padres, my entire October is now dedicated to one thing: seeing massive dongs from Kiké, Freddie, Max, and even Giancarlo. Think about it: a bunch of Yankee fans would absolutely lose it if Stanton actually passes Jeter. Talk about poetic justice!
The postseason is officially on fire, and with these guys swinging for the fences, every single game is loaded with potential record-breaking moments. Keep your eyes glued to those screens, because October baseball just got a whole lot more interesting for all the right reasons.
