Who struck out the most times in one World Series, this player also poetically ended that series by striking out.

Who was he and who struck him out to end that series?



difficulty rating 4.0

REGGIE?

Bob Welch striking him out?

This is really a shot in the dark.

Still no andswer, I thought this one would have been easier...the player was the goat of this series...

Hint- the pitcher who struck him out to end the WS, is no longer living.

I figured this would have been answered...answer will be released at 9 pm.

another hint, the batter played in 6 WS games that year and struckout 12 times.
