Designated Hitter: Paul Molitor
Brewers: 1982; Blue Jays: 1993



Molitor hit a stellar .355 as a third baseman for the Brewers in the 1982 World Series, but it was in the offense-happy 1993 Fall Classic where he because a hitter of legend. Posting a ridiculous .500 average (12-for-24) in the six-game series, Molitor cranked out two homers, scored 10 runs, drove in eight and slugged 1.000 en route to being the first and only DH to be named MVP of a World Series. Molitor's lifetime average of .418 ranks second all-time behind Bobby Brown, who hit .439 in 41 at-bats for the Yanks.
