SS: Alan Trammell
Tigers: 1984



One of only three shortstops to have been named World Series MVP (a couple of Yankees, Bucky Dent and Derek Jeter, did it in 1978 and 2000, respectively), Trammel made good on his only appearance in the Fall Classic. The lifetime Tiger, who only twice hit more than 15 homers in a season, belted a pair and hit .450 (9-for-20) in Detroit's five-game Series victory over the Padres. The Yankees' Phil Rizzuto and the Dodgers' Pee Wee Reese were mainstays at the position in October, but didn't put up as impressive numbers as Trammell or his main competition here, the Brewers' Robin Yount, who hit .414 and collected 12 hits in a seven-game defeat to the Cardinals in 1982.
