Jim Mason appeared in three games during the 1976 World Series, had one plate appearance during Game 3, and hit a home run off Pat Zachry during the 7th inning. That career moment turned out to be Mason's only postseason appearance, the Yankees' only home run of their four-game Series loss, and the first time in Major League history a player had a home run in the only World Series (or postseason) plate appearance of their career.
