Okay

I didn't notice the word "single" in your question. I don't think it's Stanton.

Pitcher

And he's not exactly obscure.

Got it finally

The last letter of his first name matches the first letter of his first name - overall an oddly spelled first name. Right?

I'll go with....

Jeff Nelson then. He was in a LOT of world series games but I doubt he ever pitched in 7 of them in the same series.

Chalie Hough?

Darold Knowles. He appeared in all 7 games of the 1973 World Series for the A's. He didn't allow a run and got 2 saves including the decisive game 7. He played for the Rangers for 1 season in 1977 putting up respectable overall numbers despite the fact that he walked 23 batters and only struck out 14 for the entire year.
