Alcides Escobar’s roll already has him second to only George Brett’s 56 postseason hits in Royals’ franchise history. (He had 40 entering Saturday’s Game 4, including 21 this year.) KC’s long playoff drought, however, leaves both worlds apart from the all-time MLB leaders.
It’s a list swarming with Yankees, thanks both to their 27 World Series wins and the introduction of the Division Series 20 years ago. The latter is especially critical: Pete Rose, 11th all-time with 86 hits in 67 games, is the leader among those in the pre-Division Series era.
