Travis did not make the postseason with the Dodgers (nor did he homer for the Rays).

Not Rickey. Postseason for 5 teams (OAK, TOR, SD, NYM, SEA) but homers only for Oakland and San Diego.

Asdrubal did not hit a home run in the Mets 3-0 loss in the 2016 wild card game, his only Mets postseason appearance.

Curtis played in the postseason with 5 teams (DET, NYY, NYM, LAD, MIL) but only homered for the first 3.

Ventura played in the postseason with 4 teams (CHW, NYM, NYY, LAD) but only homered for the first two teams.

I'm just seeing this question now. It looks like Cliff Floyd hasn't been guessed.

Not Murphy, Floyd, or Burnitz.

The player in question has homered off 4 hall of fame pitchers in the postseason.

Wait, is it Tommy Pham? Assuming the 4 HOFers could include future guys like Kershaw.

Answer is:

John Olerud.

1993 WS, for Toronto against Curt Schilling*
1999 NLDS, off Randy Johnson
1999 NLCS, off Glavine and Smoltz
2001 ALDS and ALCS, for Seattle
2004 ALCS, for the Yankees, off Pedro Martinez.

*Not in the HOF but added for context.

Holy Shit!!
Watching LAD/ARZ via slight delay as I catch up, the Snakes go deep for four solo HRs, all off starter Lance Lynn, in the 3rd inning. One was even called a HR until called back via replay, and then HR'd on the next pitch anyway.

Had never been four HRs in one inning in post-season history before.
Now there has been.
