Outfield: Reggie Jackson

Reginald Martinez Jackson hasn't always been referred to with such deference, but he goes by only one name at World Series time: Mr. October. A lifetime .262 hitter in the regular season, Jackson made like Ty Cobb in the Fall Classic. In only one of his five Series (four of which were victories), did he hit less than .310, and he finished with a lifetime average of .357 in 27 games. What everyone remembers, of course, are the home runs, 10 in all, most famously three in one game that ranks as our No. 5 all-time World Series moment. Jackson is the only non-pitcher to have been named a World Series MVP twice (1973, '77).
