World Series Ring was a championship ring award to each player and staff after a team wins a World Series Game in the MLB. Champion rings are usually made of white or yellow gold. Along with precious gemstones such as diamonds and emeralds mounted onto each ring.

The New York Yankees Over the years, several teams have become MLB champions by winning multiple World Series titles. The New York Yankees hold the record with 27 championships, while the St. Louis Cardinals have won 11 and the Boston Red Sox have won nine.

the Dodgers In the longest postseason game, in terms of time, in MLB history (seven hours, 20 minutes), the Dodgers beat the Red Sox on a Muncy walk-off home run in the 18th inning to cut their Series deficit to 2-1. The two clubs combined to use 18 pitchers and 46 players overall in the contest, both postseason records.

The Red Sox have been blessed with many legends and great plays. Ted Williams, Cy Young and Babe Ruth are considered some of the best players among fans.

To fans of today's generation, there is not a single player more identifiable with the Red Sox than David "Big Papi" Ortiz. Ortiz arrived in Boston in '03 after several lackluster campaigns as a Minnesota Twin and, simply put, developed into the most dangerous hitter in the American League.

Some websites put estimates at around $35 million for the winning team and $440,000 per player. The Phillies would get less and something around $25 million and $340,000 per player. Let's not forget about the ring, which is worth approximately $30,000.

If you bleed Cubbie blue or are a diehard baseball fan, then you were most likely watching Game 7 of the World Series in Cleveland when the Cubs clinched their first world championship since 1908, ending the longest drought in the history of American sports.
