On Oct. 2 1968 Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardenals struck out 17 Detroit Tigers in the first game of the world series that year. Its a world series record.

In a single WS, Bob Gibson, with 35. He also had three of the top 10 single WS totals.
Career WS, Whitey Ford, with 94
The third link is the box score of Carleton's 17K Ws game in 1968.
I remember reading a story by Tim McCarver (who caught Carleton in that game), in which he kept trying to go out to the mound to get Carleton to look at the announcement on the scoreboard that Carleton had just set a new WS K record, and being shooed back to his position by Carleton.
