Enos is a career .300 hitter who played in 10 All-Star Games for the Cardinals. In the Redbirds' World Series-winning season of 1942, his National League-leading 188 hits included circuit bests of 127 singles and 17 triples. He also topped the NL with 292 total bases and 61 extra-base hits.
Following three years of military service, the man known as Country sparked St. Louis to another World Championship in 1946 while playing all-out in all of the club's games and leading the NL with 130 RBIs. He topped the campaign with a .320 World Series average and some legendary base running.
Enos has been part of two more Series winners since being acquired by the Yankees as a hustling extra outfielder whose timely hits have been of great value to the club. Ten years after his World Series glory of '46, Country hit .350 over six games in New York's seven-game triumph over Brooklyn in '56.
