Lord love a duck!
The only reason Yogi should be on there instead of Molitor is if playing in October is the qualifier, not performance in October. Here's some career post-season stats:

BA:
Yogi - .274
Molitor - .368

SLG
Yogi - .452
Molitor - .615

OPS
Yogi - .811
Molitor - 1.050

And don't say count the rings. If that were the case Robert Horry, Larry Siegfried and Steve Kerr should be on a short list of NBA playoff greats along with Russell, MJ, Magic, etc....and hell you could make an arguement for Horry!

I'm not saying Yogi Berra wasn't great, I'm just saying he ain't no Mr. October.
