OF: Babe Ruth
Red Sox: 1915-16, '18; Yanks: 1921-23, '26-'28, '32
All you need to know about Babe Ruth and the World Series is that even the Red Sox won three of 'em with him. Not only did he bat .326, slug .744 and club a second-most 15 home runs in his World Series career, but he was also 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA as a starting pitcher, including a run of 29 2/3 straight scoreless innings. Which is the rough equivalent of Joe Montana being the Super Bowl's all-time leader in defensive sacks. Twice he hit three home runs in a World Series game and, of course, there was the one he called at Wrigley Field.
