Trivia: Whose World Series home run earned him the nickname “Mr. November”?
Manny Ramirez
Buster Posey
Derek Jeter
Chase Utley
Correct Answer: Derek Jeter
So why is this answer correct? : Derek Jeter earned this monthly moniker — a play on fellow New York Yankee Reggie Jackson’s nickname, “Mr. October” — for his accomplishments in Game 4 of the 2001 World Series. That game marked the first time in baseball history that the World Series extended into November. With the Yankees and Diamondbacks tied up in the bottom of the 10th, Jeter launched a walk-off home run off Arizona pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim, thus tying the series at 2-2 and forever immortalizing Jeter as “Mr. November.”
