Hank Greenberg made it to the World Series four times with the Detroit Tigers and homered in each of his trips to the Fall Classic. “Hammerin’ Hank” holds the franchise record for most World Series home runs. Greenberg finished with five longballs, a perfect number for the Hall of Famer whose no. 5 was retired by the Tigers.
