Harry How/Allsprt
RP: Mariano Rivera
Yankees: 1996, '98-2001



The freshest World Series image of Rivera is his blown save and loss in 2001's Game 7 (aided by his own throwing error), but until that point he'd been unstoppable, racking up two wins and a W.S.-record eight saves on four Yankees championship teams. He was named MVP of 1999 World Series, when he notched two saves and gave up nary a run in 4 2/3 innings of work. His career ERA in the World Series is a scant 1.67.
