2 Tigers WS rings same player

[tigers527]

Throughout the Tigers history only 3 players won two rings as players for the Tigers
Hank Greenberg (of course)
Tommy Bridges
Hub Walker....although, he only played 28 games during the 45 season, the commisioner allowed him to play in the WS where he went 1 for 2 driving in a game winning run. And thus helping keep the Cubbies down.

Not surprising, since the Tigers have a grand total of 4 World Series Championships, and fairly spaced apart (1984 • 1968 • 1945 • 1935).

9 yrs, then 23 yrs, then 18 yrs, now 22 yrs. and ticking.

Maybe I just didn't think about it before, but it does surprise me no members of the 1935 team, except for Greenberg, Bridges and Walker, were still around a decade later.
Without looking (you can look, I'm asking without looking, I mean) which '68 Tiger came closest to winning it in 1984? Mickey Stanley? Willie Horton?

Mickey Stanley played with the Tigers till 78'..Willie Horton played till 80' but was with the Tigers only till 77'...The winner playing with the Tigers till 80' was John Hiller.

I thought of Hiller immediately after posting. I remember the Free Press put out a whole series of profiles of each player, with a cartoon drawing of each player around that time, and Hiller mentioning the thrill of 1968 and also coming back from a heart attack.
