	Frank Thomas played 34 games for the '05 White Sox, if you want to count that.

	But he didn't play in the World Series.

	This was a fun and tough quiz! I got 9/21.

	im guessing jeff bagwell (94 NL) doesnt count because he was a member of the 2005 astros when they went to the series...even though he didnt play?

	Bagwell had 10 PAs in the World Series that year

Comment below threshold: show it

	Sauer, Banks, Allen, Sandberg, Dawson, Sosa, Thomas...That's a lot of Chicago on this list (though Thomas did end up getting a ring with the '05 White Sox, even if he was injured and couldn't play). Anyway, hope to see the Cubs in the WS in the near future. It would also be nice if Mauer, Morneau, and Votto weren't still on this list at the end of their careers.

	Don't forget to add Kemp or Braun in a couple of weeks.

	I hate advertising quizzes in the comments, BUT here is the Cy Young Version: http://www.sporcle.com/games/BiloxiSean/cy_young_no_world_series. Maybe I should have combined the two quizzes?

	no, I'm all for advertising other quizzes - loved this one!!

	bluerum29:	Nov 9th, 2011 at 02:17 GMT		-1 points
	Wow, I only got 5, obviously not in baseball mode right now. And Outlander, Kemp better not win it for this year.

	well I think I found a fault in the quiz. It says, "Can you name the MLB MVP winners without an appearance in the World Series in their career?" but Torre won 4 with the yanks in his Coaching Career. just something I saw

	BiloxiSean:	Nov 9th, 2011 at 13:12 GMT		-1 points
	@-nashedpotatoes I am going to change the question.

	Please change Ken Griffey to Ken Griffey, Jr., as that is what he has always been known as (hence his nickname of Junior).

	Got a chuckle out of the url :)
