Reggie Jackson - Mr. October, 1977 World Series-Game 6
Inning 2 - Hooton into the windup, the pitch-BOOM
Inning 5 - Sosa into the windup, the pitch - BOOM
Inning 8- Hough into the windup, the pitch - BOOM
His third home run on three pitches was the most gargantuan of the night, a 450-foot missle to the empty black bleacher seats in deep center, and it simultaneously broke the backs of the Dodgers and cemented Reggie Jackson's reputation as New York's new postseason star.

Federer.
Shane Warne (well as clutch as you can get in cricket).
Ricky Ponting (cricket again, unbelievably consistent). Up until recently you could just name the whole aussie team as clutch.
Richie Mccaw. He always seems to be the difference in close games.
Johnny Wilkinson. Like every other australian I was hoping he'd break his leg during the world cup final. After Mat Rogers kicked the ball out the game was over. All England had to do was give Johnny a little room and so they did.
