When Shane Victorino hit his three run homer on Sunday (10.18.09) against the Dodgers in the NLCS he surpassed legendary Phillie Mike Schmidt for Postseason RBI’s. Victorino has 18 RBI’s and is the second all time Philadelphia Phillie for post season RBI's next to team mate Ryan Howard (22 RBI).
When you think about that stat, it is amazing to think about Victorino being in the same conversation to Hall of Famer Schmidt who held the record all these years. For Hawaii’s Victorino it confirms the versatility of the flying Hawaiian and the success of Philadelphia's six through nine hitters getting on base. A top of the line up hitter, who can get on base, steal and get in scoring position, has some power to bring in runs also. Was he worth the money he just signed for? The season thus far, says he may be deserving more! Let’s cheer for Shane who is making Hawaii proud.
