A decade later, in , the Tar Heels went in conference play and won their second league title. No other team in ACC baseball history has ever been undefeated in conference play. Not a bad record to own in one of the consistently best conferences in college baseball history. North Carolina baseball: We picked a starting lineup of all-time Tar Heel greats. ASU has 20 conference titles since and, more impressively, five NCAA tournament championships , , , , to its name. Arizona State baseball: We picked a starting lineup of all-time Sun Devils greats.
Southern California may not have the most wins in college baseball history, but they do have the most wins where it matters — the NCAA tournament. Trojans baseball: We picked USC baseball's all-time starting nine. Only two of the 20 winningest teams in college baseball history have played fewer than seasons: Miami, which has 2, wins in 75 seasons, and Florida State, which has an incredible 2, wins in 74 years. A lot of that success can be attributed to former head coach Mike Martin — the winningest coach in DI baseball history.
Martin retired after the season with 2, wins to his name. Florida State baseball: We picked the Seminoles' all-time starting nine. Oakland Athletics. Minnesota Twins. Baltimore Orioles. Los Angeles Angels. Houston Astros. Texas Rangers. Kansas City Royals. Toronto Blue Jays. Seattle Mariners. Tampa Bay Rays. Los Angeles Dodgers.
Louis Cardinals. Atlanta Braves. Cincinnati Reds. Furthermore, even though he hit 11 postseason home runs, none of those came on the grandest stage of the World Series. While growing up in Illinois, Red Ruffing was a promising young baseball hitter. But when he was a teenager, he suffered a freak injury that cost him four of his toes and left him unable to play in the field. Thus, he was forced to switch to pitcher, and he would only go on to win more World Series games than all but one pitcher in MLB history.
And while the injury made Ruffing impotent as a pitcher, it did nothing to diminish his hitting skills that he retained. Ruffing was frequently used as a pinch hitter throughout his career and hit 36 home runs, the fourth-most by a pitcher. My hero was the Yanks' Red Ruffing.
He had this great windup, would pick his left leg up, and keep it high in the air. I said, 'I'm going to pitch like him.
The Iron Horse was a fixture in the World Series, as his Yankees teams advanced nine times in his year career. Lou Gehrig was one of those rare players whose performance increased in the playoffs. He hit. Across his 34 World Series games, he reached base safely in all but two of them. Even though Frankie Crosetti tied for eighth on this list with six rings as a player, no individual in the history of baseball has been a part of more World Series championship teams than him.
In his 37 years with the Yankees organization, he won 17 World Series championships and participated in a total of 23 World Series. As a player, Crosetti was known for his glove and only his glove.
I never opened my mouth. Lou [Gehrig] made me feel like I belonged. Four times he led the AL in saves, and never did he save more than 19 games in any of those seasons. But Murphy would pitch two-to-three innings back then to get the save, and he would go on to save four World Series games, which ranks tied for third-most all-time. Following his playing career, Murphy then spent 22 years working in the front offices for the Red Sox and Mets.
He was the general manager of the Miracle Mets that shocked the baseball world by winning the World Series. In the declining years of Gomez's career, Murphy was frequently called upon to finish Lefty's games for him. It was always nice to see Murphy coming in to save me. A very special relationship. Murphy listed me as a dependent on his income tax. He is the all-time leader in World Series game wins 10 , innings , strikeouts 94 and games started Those stats are also the same as his total postseason stats because, back then, the only playoff series was the World Series.
But ironically, despite Ford starting 22 World Series games, he never started a Game 7 during his career. There were plenty of opportunities, as the Bronx Bombers played in seven Game 7s during his career, but Ford never got the ball in any of them. Allie Reynolds had a unique career — he was sometimes used as a starter and sometimes used as a closer, often in the same season.
That led to his odd season when he finished fifth with 18 wins while also finishing third with four saves. He was used similarly in his 15 World Series games, as he started nine of them and pitched in relief in six of them. For his career, Reynolds racked up seven World Series game wins, which is second-most all-time, and four World Series saves, which is third-most all-time.
But he quickly made up for lost time, as he won six World Series rings by the time he was Even though he often played second fiddle to Allie Reynolds, Yankees manager Casey Stengel said that Raschi was his best starter to go a full nine innings. He did just that in his most memorable game, which came in Game 1 of the World Series. Raschi threw a complete game shutout, allowing just two hits to the Phillies. Raschi, himself, had a base hit, so he had half the number of total bases as the entire Phillies lineup.
The Yankees won that game and would go on to sweep Philadelphia. The most famous baseball player who ever lived won his first three World Series with the Red Sox, and primarily as a pitcher, before winning the last four as a hitter with the Yankees. He also smacked 15 home runs in October, which is second-most all-time, and that includes two separate three-homer games. Ruth and the Red Sox would go on to win the World Series in six games.
Not every player is able to rise to the occasion of postseason baseball and take their game to another level, such as the case with Bill Dickey. He was one of the greatest hitting catchers of all time, and his career. However, that average dipped to. But despite his futility, the Yankees still won seven of the eight World Series that Dickey played in.
After retiring, he then returned to the Yankees as a first base coach and won another six World Series, giving him a total of He must make up his mind that it isn't the terrible job it is painted, and that he isn't going to say every day, 'Why, oh why with so many other positions in baseball did I take up this one.
Through his first four World Series, the three-time All-Star hit. But something clicked in , and he did a
