Dusty Rhodes died on June 17.

He holds one record that may never be broken or tied: in the 1954
World Series he had three games where he did not start, but still
managed at least 2 RBIs. No-one else has had more than one such game
in a single World Series: Carl Furillo is the only player with two
games like that, in 1947 and 1959.

The Giants swept the Indians in 1954: Monte Irvin started all four
games in left field for the Giants, but Rhodes pinch-hit for him in
the first three games, then did not play in Game 4. In 6 at-bats,
Rhodes hit two home runs and drove in seven runs. The other Giants
had 124 at-bats, zero home runs and 13 RBI. No-one else on either
team had more than 3 RBI or one home run.

Here's a tough question for anyone: has there ever been another World
Series where the player with most home runs (or RBI) in the Series did
not start a game?
