Re: Are playoff hits included in a players career hits stats?
Playoff / Post Season Stats are their own category.
For example, Roy Halladay's No-Hitter in Game 1 of the NLDS - while amazing - doesn't add him to the short list of players with 2 No Hitters in the same season:
Virgil Trucks, Detroit Tigers, 1952
Allie Reynolds, New York Yankees 1951
Nolan Ryan, California Angels, 1973
Johnny Vander Meer, Cincinnati Reds, 1938 (back to back No Hitters)
The 'season' by definition is Games 1-162 (163 tie breaker if necessary).
For example - Mickey Mantle's career HR total is 536. But the Mick also hit 18 Post Season homers. His career total is still 536, not 554.
Another example is Roger Maris hitting 61 HRs in 1961. If his Post Season was added to it, then he had 62 HRs in 1961.
Hope this helps.
