Billy Southworth. Southworth played on the 1926 St. Louis Cardinals that defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series and managed the 1942 Cardinals that defeated the Yankees in the World Series.
In 1942 the Cardinals beat the Yankees 4 games to one to win the World Series for the fourth time and the first since 1934.
1942
There was no World Series in 1876. The first World Series was played in 1903.
The 2005 World Series was played in Chicago and Houston.
Joe DiMaggio played on nine World Series winning New York Yankee teams (36-39, 41, 47, 49-51). The Yankees lost to St. Louis in the 1942 World Series, the only DiMaggio team to lose a World Series. DiMaggio's World Series stats weren't quite up to his regular season performances. He hit only .273 in 51 World Series games with 8 HRs and 30 RBIs. But Since the question asks how many rings Joe DiMaggio has, the answer gets a bit complicated, eight of his nine rings were stolen in the 1960's from his Lexington Hotel room, the only remaining ring was his 1936 rookie year World Series ring. However, at Mr. DiMaggio's final appearance (September 1998) at Yankee Stadium, George Steinbrenner presented Joltin' Joe with 8 exact replicas of his missing rings.
The World Series was first played in 1903, so no one played in 1379.
Since the first World Series in 1903 the World Series was played every year but 1904, and 1994.
Today, most World Series games are played at night.
