"Country," as the Hall of Famer was known to baseball fans during the '40s and '50s, played in five World Series and 10 consecutive All-Star games. Slaughter, a lifetime .300 hitter, played 19 seasons, 13 of them with the St. Louis Cardinals. His biggest moment -- and one of the most memorable in World Series history -- came in 1946 when he scored all the way from first base on a single by teammate Harry Walker. It proved to be the winning run in the decisive seventh game against Boston.
