New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez made his first career World Series appearance in 2009 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rodriguez was integral to the Yankees success in this Fall Classic, hitting a homer with six RBI, three doubles, and five runs scored in the Yankees six-game defeat of the 2008 World Series winners. Across all three playoff series, Rodriguez hit .365 with six homers and 18 runs batted in.
