    		That would be Reggie Jackson, who did it on Oct 18, 1977 against the Dodgers in game 6. By the way, Jackson hit every one of his homers on the first pitch.

    		Jackson hit each home run on the first pitch... off different Dodger pitchers!

    No. 1, 4th inning off Burt Hooten
    No. 2, 5th inning off Elias Sosa
    No. 3, 8th inning, off Charile Hough.

    Reggie became first to hit five homers in one series, instantly becoming "Mr. October." He also hit a homer in his last at-bat in Game Five setting a new record for most consecutive World Series home runs. He also holds the record for highest career World Series slugging average, .755
