Outfield: Lou Brock
Cardinals: 1964, '67-'68
Since MLB began handing out World Series MVP awards in 1955, Brock owns the best Fall Classic career without having won one. He hit .300 and dove in five runs in a seven-game victory over the Yankees in 1964, but it was in 1967 and '68 where he really shined. Though he averaged only nine home runs per 162 games in his career, he hit three homers in those 14 games, racked up 25 hits, scored 14 runs and stole an incredible 14 bases. He was overshadowed for MVP in those years by pitchers Bob Gibson and Mickey Lolich. Brock finished his career with a .391 batting average and a .655 slugging percentage in World Series play.
