Major League Baseball: Top 20 Players with the Most World Series Rings
New York Yankees 2009 World Series Ring (Getty). Yogi Berra Has the Most World Series Rings of any Player in Baseball History: 10 – All with the Yankees.
Some time back, Sports List of the Day looked at all 27 Yankee championships and also franchises with the most world series wins.
But which players have the most World Series rings? Here’s a list of the top 20.
It’s a list dominated by New York Yankees. Of the 26 players on the list only three possess rings as members of other teams, including Babe Ruth who won three with the Boston Red Sox. Only one – Eddie Collins – does not possess a Yankee ring.
Who gets a World Series ring, by the way? That would be anyone on the postseason active roster, players left off the postseason roster, coaches, and generally (though not mandatory) any one who was on the active roster for the team at any point in the season, even if for only one game.
The latter category, along with selected front office personnel, cheerleaders, etc – are up to the organization. Often, many of these affiliated personnel get rings. In the case of being on the roster for as little as one game – frequently these players get rings.
Take, for example, Ralph Houk, who only played 91 games in eight seasons, yet is the proud owner of six World Series rings.
So, here’s the list of players with the most world series rings – as players.

Of the 26 players listed, Eddie Collins was the only one who didn’t play for the Yankees. From 1921 through 1964, The Yankees won 66% of the pennants; 29 pennants won. In those 44 years, the rest of the A.L. combined for 15 pennants. Every team won at least once. Tigers (4), A’s (3), Senators (3), Indians (2) and Red Sox, White Sox, and Browns once each. The Reds became the Redlegs due to anti-communist sentiment.
