I'm not sure of the exact number but Joe Torre played and managed the most games before appearing and winnig his first World Series while managing the '96 Yankees. Players Joe Niekro and Mike Morgan both played 21 seasons before making their first World Series, Niekro with the Twins in 1987 and Morgan with the Diamondbacks in 2002.
