G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Discussion broke out the other night among me and three gamegoers over who has/had a World Series ring from the Mets and MFYs. We know for sure one is Casey Stengel:http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2007/06/01/2007-06-01_look_it_up_caseys_stuff_in_auction-1.htmlThe article's a bit misleading in that Casey wasn't just given one for the heck of it, but because he was a VP for many years after managing the Mets.In addition to Stengel I've got:--Gooden--Strawberry--Arthur Richman (traveling secretary for us; fixer for Steinbrenner)--Tim McCarver (our broadcaster in '86, theirs in '99-'00, though one of my friends thought this was bogus)--Fran Healy (our broadcaster in '86, theirs in '78, and still catching in '77)--Berra (coach in '69)--Stottlemyre (coach in '86)--MazzilliAnybody else who anybody else can think of? Any scouts or wayward front-office types or minor league managers?

G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted June 2, 2007 Author Posted June 2, 2007 Oh yeah, him.Talk about the nose on the face of a question!
stevejrogers Old-Timey Member Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Johnny Murphy, quite a few as the "closer" of the 30s Yankees, and a posthumously one for the 69 Mets.Was he a front office guy with the Yankees in the 50s?
Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Good call.I wonder if Pete Sheehy got rings every time the Yankees won.
