OK, this is my first question for everyone. I did look through all of the previoud threads and haven't found this one, but it's been bugging me since Clemens won a World Series.

Since 1918, what players have won a World Series with the Yankees _after_ having suited up for the Red Sox? I can only think of three very obvious ones. Anyone?

Babe Ruth
Wally Schang
Joe Dugan
Everett Scott
Elmer Smith
Mike McNally
Joe Bush
SAm Jones
Waite Hoyt
Herb Pennock
Carl Mays. . . and this is only looking at the 1923 New York Yankees.

Ben Paschal
Wilcy Moore, who would do it in 1932.
George Burns
Red Ruffing
Danny MacFayden
Ivy Andrews in 38
Bob Seeds
Wes Ferrell
Bobo Newsom, who oddly enough is mentioned in Rob Neyer's column today.
Jack Kramer
Jim McDonald
Ray Scarborough
Mickey McDermott
Tex Clevenger
Hal Brown. . . and that takes care of the teams through the 60's.
