Molitor, in 1982 = 7 games (31 AB), 5 runs, 11 hits (all singles), 3 RBI, .355.
In 1993 = 6 games (24 AB), 10 R, 12 H, 2 HR, 8 RBI, .500.

Berra, select 5 of 14 Octobers:

1953 = 6 games (21 AB), 3 R, 9 H, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .429.
1955 = 7 games (24 AB), 5 R, 10 H, 1 HR, 2 RBI, .417.
1956 = 7 games (25 AB), 5 R, 9 H, 3 HR, 10 RBI, .360.
1957 = 7 games (25 AB), 5 R, 8 H, 1 HR, 2 RBI, .320.
1960 = 7 games (22 AB), 6 R, 7 H, 1 HR, 8 RBI, .318.

And it's not just about the rings, I agree with you - in three of the above there was no ring for Yogi, thanks to Dodgers, Braves, and Pirates.

I'm not saying Paul Molitor wasn't great, I'm just saying Yogi Berra IS a Mr. October.
