Carlos Beltran and an Old-Timer

The ninth and tenth most prolific home run hitters in postseason baseball history:
                G  PA  AB  R  H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS  BA   OBP  SLG
Carlos Beltran 37 164 136 41 49 11  0 16  31 11  0 .360 .463 .794
Babe Ruth      41 167 129 37 42  5  2 15  33  4  3 .326 .467 .744

Yes, I know. Ruth put up his numbers in 41 World Series games, while Beltran has never appeared in the Series - his 37 games comprise a wild card game, 16 Divisional Series games, and 20 League Championship Series games. And, of course, Mets fans will never view him as clutch.

But still. Postseason is still postseason.
