Ralph Terry

s, and arguably the pitcher who stamped Bill Mazeroski's ticket to Cooperstown, was Yankees starter Ralph Terry. However, Terry's World Series career was not marked just by the series-winning home run he allowed to Mazeroski--he won two games in the 1962 series against the Giants and was named series MVP. He had made the All-Star team that year, going 23-12, and was on the mound in the ninth inning of game seven when Willie McCovey smoked a liner into second baseman Bobby Richardson's glove to end the series. Willie Mays was on second and Mattie Alou was on third with the Yankees up 1-0, so had McCovey's shot gotten through, San Francisco would have won the World Series.

solid--Elston Howard behind the dish, Yogi Berra in one of his last, best seasons, Whitey Ford and Ralph Terry twirling brilliant seasons on the mound. But dig a little deeper and you get to the infield. Can you name them?
