Their MLB cameos led to World Series rings. Are they happy? Well, it’s complicated

The one man who cannot lose this World Series sat at home, watching the playoffs unfold when a friend forwarded an online post that gave him a shock.

“Because I’m with the Yankees now, I completely forgot,” said Taylor Trammell, a 27-year-old Yankees minor-league outfielder who appeared in five games this season for the big league team. “If the Dodgers win it, I can get a ring as well.”

That’s because before landing with the Yankees, Trammell played in five games earlier this season for the Dodgers. No matter what happens in the Fall Classic, he is guaranteed to be a champion, despite the fact that his seven at-bats between the two teams resulted in just one hit.
