Profiling the World Series Winners

No event in sports is greater than the World Series, so it follows that any team that wins it is pretty doggone special. Therefore, I'd like to introduce Profiling the World Series Winners, a series that'll look at these champions in depth, giving you basic information about each one as well as some obscure findings you might be interested in.

What will these profiles include?

Basic Information

Team record, manager, coaches and other vital information like that.

Roster Basics

Future Hall of Famers, All Stars and team statistical leaders.

Tidbits

This is the fun part, and the main reason I'm creating these profiles. You want to know who the the oldest and youngest players were? How about the last surviving member of the team or the first one to play for the franchise? It's all here. I even created a new concept: the reunion and pre-union teams.

What are those, you ask? Reunion and pre-union teams are a way of learning which other organizations had the strongest ties to the team in question. They can be figured by compiling every single-season team outside the franchise each member of the roster played for. The reunion team is the one where the most of them converged after the year in question. The pre-union team is the one for years before. Want an example? The reunion team for the 1958 New York Yankees was the 1961 Kansas City Athletics, with eight former members of those Yankees suiting up for them (probably no surprise if you know that the A's in those days were basically a Yankee farm club). In the same vein, the pre-union team was the 1955-56 Athletics, who provided four players on the '58 Yankee roster. Make sense?

Notable Achievements

No-hitters, milestone stats, award winners, record-setting performances, etc.
