First Base: Lou Gehrig
Yankees: 1926-28, '32, '36-'38
It's been said that the Iron Horse is the only Yankees legend who truly lived up to his heroic reputation. And so it's fitting that he lead this position despite tremendous competition from, among others, Hall of Fame sluggers Jimmie Foxx, Willie Stargell and Hank Greenberg. Gehrig was an absolute all-timer in October, hitting a lifetime .361 in 34 games, with 10 HRs and 35 RBIs en route to winning six World Series while losing just one. In 1928, he was simply unstoppable, batting .545 and slugging 1.727 with 4 HRs, 9 RBIs and 6 BBs in a four-game sweep of St. Louis.
