Catcher: Yogi Berra
Yankees: 1947, '49-'53, '55-'58, '60-'63



His lifetime World Series batting average may be a pedestrian .274, but we're giving the Lord of the Rings some credit for being on 10 championship-winning clubs. (The one-for-the-toe effort fell short in a 1963 loss to the Dodgers.) A three-time regular-season MVP, Berra was never a World Series MVP (unlike his stiffest competition here, Johnny Bench) but he is baseball's all-time leader in World Series games (75), at-bats (259) and hits (71), and is second in runs (41) and RBIs (39).
