Just making the point that Kershaw wouldn't be the only legendary player who was Mr. Regular Season. Mike Trout would be another.

Not at all analagous. Williams and Trout barely touched the post season., their teams sucked, tiny sample sizes mean nothing. Kershaw has like a season's worth of post season appearances.

To be precise, he has started 32 postseason games and pitched in 40 total. His ERA is now ..... wait for it .... 4.63. FOUR POINT SIX THREE, you read that right. More that two full points higher than his regular season ERA.

If you don't play a lot in the postseason, you're still a Mr. Regular Season. You can't say that Ted Williams or Mike Trout are anything other than Mr. Regular Seasons.

Ted Williams was a “Mr Regular Season “, man tough crowd especially for a player whose career lasted from 1939-1960. Think he played in 1 post season series 6 games and went 5 for 25. Amazing Boston had so few appearances all those years.

In all seriousness, I'd be curious to see how many hits Ted Williams had in pressure-less games -- perhaps defined as games where the Red Sox were more than 5 games out of first place in the final third of the season. Or, similarly, how many home runs Mike Trout has had in similar games. There should be a premium for performance under pressure, which (unfortunately) would elevate players like Jeter.

Hate to see games end like that.

Hats off to the Phillies. Every at bat with them is like that knife fight in the movie Eastern Promises. This was the best series so far.
