Those are cool, interesting, revealing stats, but it's awfully convenient to post them right after A-Rod has a MONSTER 3-game set against the lowly Twins. Factor out those at-bats and it's easy to see why A-Rod has understandably HAD a reputation as an awful postseason hitter. Moreover, factor out A-Rod's postseason at-bats from before he was a Yankee, and you'll see that as a YANKEE postseason hitter he still pales in comparison with Reggie. In other words, A-Rod JUST FINALLY had his first good spell in the postseason as a Yankee, and before now most of the positive postseason numbers he ever put up happened when he was in Seattle (where his postseason average was like .340). Also, don't forget that Reggie did most of his damage in more meaningful games (ALCS's and WS's). Just sayin'. Still, very interesting stat. It'll be interesting to see if A-Rod's batting average implodes the deeper into October he goes.
