2003 and 1997
How about the Florida Marlins and the Arizona Diamondbacks? Neither team existed in the early 1990s, and they both won world championships within five years of their inaugural seasons. The Marlins, who joined the National League as an expansion team in 1993, won the 1997 and 2003 World Series. The Diamondbacks' first season was in 1998. They were world champions in 2001.
Yes. 5 World Series have been won by a wildcard team of that year. 1997 (Marlins), 2002 (Angels), 2003 (Marlins), 2004 (Red Sox), and 2011 (Cardinals) are all the years this has been done.
Before the 2009 World Series ended (of course after the 2009 WS every Yankee on that team won a WS) Derek Jeter, Andy Pettite, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rvera, Eric Hinske, and Manager Joe Girardi (as a player) all won the World Series in prior years. A.J. Burnett also technically has a World Series ring with the 2003 Florida Marlins, however he was hurt early in the 2003 season and did little to contribute.
The Marlins have talked to representatives of several cities in the past couple of years about relocation. Click on the 'Florida Marlins' link on this page to read about the cities the Marlins have talked to.
