Collins hit four World Series homers. The first won Game Two of the 1951 classic; the second put the Yanks ahead to stay in the 1953 opener; the other two led New York to victory in Game One of the 1955 Series. In the seventh game of the 1952 WS (which followed an 18-homer season for Collins), the first baseman lost Jackie Robinson‘s pop fly in the Ebbets Field sun, which Billy Martin recovered to catch in a famous game-saving play.
