Who's Got The Rings (Ours & Theirs) Baby?

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.html The 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) --Mazzilli Anybody else who anybody else can think of? Any scouts or wayward front-office types or minor league managers?

Oh yeah, him. Talk about the nose on the face of a question!

He may be the King of Bling.

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?

Good call. I wonder if Pete Sheehy got rings every time the Yankees won.
