couple of crazy stats from world series
some records have fallen. they include: most homers in a series - 22 and this series isn't over yet. previous record was 21 in 2002 between Giants and Angels.
2. 14 different players have hit homers in this series. previous was 13 in 1953 between Yankees and Dodgers.
3. the Astros 5 homers tied a record for homers in a game, tying the 1989 A's (game 3) and 1928 Yankees (game 4)
4. game 5 was 5h 17m making this the second longest game in the world series behind game 3 of the 2005 series between Houston and the White Sox (5h 41m Chicago 7 Houston 5 in 14 innings)
5. game 5 marked the 4th time both teams scored more than 10 runs and second time both teams scored 12. the other time was game 4 of the 1993 world series (Toronto 15 Philadelphia 14)
6. that Toronto vs Philly game still has the record for most runs in a world series game with 29.
7. Jose Altuve has seven homers in the series putting him away from tying Nelson Cruz (2011 Rangers), Carlos Beltran (2004 Astros) and Barry Bonds (2002 Giants) for most homers in a post season. the seven homers tied a record for most by a second baseman in a post season (Daniel Murphy 2015 Mets). he has hit 6 of those seven at home tying a record for most at home with Jayson Werth in 2009 with the Phillies.
8. Cody Bellinger became the youngest Dodgers player to hit a homer in the World Series with his 3 run homer in the 5th at 22 yrs and 108 days old. 6 player were younger than him when they hit their first ones (1. Andruw Jones 1996, 19 yrs 180 days 2. Miguel Cabrera, 2003, 20 yrs, 187 days 3. Mickey Mantle 1952 and 1953 just before he turned 21 and 22 4. Jimmy Sebring 1903, 21 yrs 190 days 5. Jimmy Foxx twice in 1929 before he turned 22 and 6. Tony Kubek 1957 21 yrs 358 days)
9. Bellinger had a go ahead homer and go ahead triple in the game, making him the second player to do so. Kirby Puckett of the Twins was the other in game 6 of the 1991 Series.
so thats a few of them. crazy.
