Ryan Zimmerman kept the Nationals hopes alive Wednesday night with a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Phillies 8-7. Zimmerman came up in 2005, and in that time frame he drove in a walk-off run 17 times, the most in the majors. Albert Pujols is second at 16, Andre Ethier has 14, David Ortiz, Hunter Pence, and Melky Cabrera all have 13.
I can compute this number back to 1974, and Zimmerman is tied for 12th in that time frame with Barry Bonds, George Foster, Andruw Jones, Eddie Murray, and Lance Parrish. Rickey Henderson and Albert Pujols have the most, 21. Another reason to love Rickey!
