Second Base: Eddie Collins
A's: 1910-11, '13-'14; White Sox: 1917, '19



He may not have hit a home run in any of his six World Series, but Collins played in an era when his four home runs in the 1915 regular season was good enough for ninth in the American League. The Hall of Famer did, however, hit over .400 in three different World Series (all victories), and that's pretty good in any era. He also swiped 14 bases, tied with Lou Brock for most ever in World Series play. Special mention to the Yankees second baseman Bobby Richardson, who, in 1960, became the only second baseman and the only member of a losing team to be named World Series MVP. He drove in a record 12 runs in that seven-game series.
