Eric Hosmer, Ben Zobrist break George Brett’s playoff records in World Series Game 1

Move over George Brett.

The greatest Royals player of all time and the franchise’s only player enshrined in Cooperstown no longer boasts the most career postseason RBIs.

Brett also had another playoff record broken Tuesday during the World Series opener at Kauffman Stadium.

First baseman Eric Hosmer’s sixth-inning sacrifice fly substantially aided a two-run rally, but it also gave him 24 career RBIs in the playoffs.

He added the game-winning sacrifice fly in the 14th inning, ending the longest World Series game in history with his 25th career postseason RBI.

That’s one more than the 23 RBIs that Brett racked up in 43 postseason games between 1976 and 1985.

Hosmer totaled 12 RBIs in 15 games last season and already has 12 RBIs in 12 games this postseason with at least three more games guaranteed.

Second baseman Ben Zobrist dashed home on Hosmer’s record-breaking sacrifice fly, which came off Mets starter and former Midland amateur baseball teammate Matt Harvey.

With the Royals trailing 3-1, Zobrist led off the sixth by rolling a double into the right-field corner.

He also led off the eighth inning with a double.

Zobrist now has eight extra-base hits this postseason, one more than Brett socked in nine games during the 1980 playoffs.

Zobrist — whose wife, Julianna, is expecting the couple’s third child — needed 12 games to get his record.

Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas each finished last year’s postseason with seven extra-base hits in 15 games.
