For example, a player traded during a season and the team they were originallly on, ends up winning the series and they are on the opposing team?

I think the players vote on it, but I'm not sure. I always wondered about that very question. I am a Twins fan and they had a guy named Allan Anderson. He was only a limited contributer in 1987, and not on the playoff roster. He then blossomed in 1988 (lead the league in ERA) and was a solid picther from 1988-1990. He then fell off in 1991, and was, again, only a limited contributer to their 1991 championship team and not in the playoffs. SO, does he have 2 rings or zero? He was a great pitcher in the "in between years" and technically played on the 87 and 91 Twins. Good question, maybe I'll repost an Allan Anderson question as a follow up!

This was copied and pasted straight from wikipedia.
" In spite of losing a player with a lifetime average above .320, the controversial trade is often credited as giving the Red Sox the spark they needed to win the World Series in 2004. Garciaparra would receive a World Series ring the following year despite being traded."
If the winning team sees fit then it is up to them to decide whether or not they should give players traded mid-season. Many more times than not, they say no...but in Nomar's case where he was the face of the franchise for several years, the Sox saw it fit. I couldn't find a list of players but I'm sure it has happened a couple of other times.

If you're playing on the team while they won the Series, but then got traded in the offseason, you still get the ring, as somebody else said, if you play most of the season with that team, but then are traded, the team can give you the Ring if they see it fit. For example let's say Albert Pujols played with the Cards for 100 games last season, but was then traded, the Cards went on to win it all, he may have contributed to the team's success, so the team can, but does not have to give him the Ring. For example again, let's say the Cards get rid of Eckstein tomorrow, he will still get the Ring come Spring.

It could happen, but I don't know of any player who just so happened to be traded to a team that faced off against his old team in the WS within that same year and lost, then received a ring anyway.
I know a couple of years ago, Nomar got a ring from the Red Sox despite being traded to the Dodgers on July 31st, but that's different.
Try googling or using wikipedia for the answer.

They would only receive a championship ring by being a member of the winning team at some time during that winning season.
I was at the Blue Jays opening game for 1994. Darrin Jackson had been a Blue Jay for part of the '93 season, but was by then a member of the White Sox, and the White Sox were the visiting team. He was given his championship ring despite wearing a grey uniform. He stood out like the proverbial sore thumb in that line, but he was given his ring. Not everyone who was wearing a Blue Jays uniform that day was in that line, because not all of them has been a part of the '93 team. And if you recall, it was the White Sox who lost the pennant in '93 to the Blue Jays.

I've heard that players who are on the roster for a significant amount of the year get a ring, whether they were on the WS roster or not.
Not sure if a player traded that season has ever played against his original team in the WS that year.

The gamers that are on the gang roster on the time of the sequence may well be eligible to get carry of a hoop. IIRC that is going for the gamers on the injured record yet no longer gamers that had performed for the gang earlier interior the year; which includes those that have long previous returned to farm league or who've been traded.

I know the players vote on playoff shares (bonus money) for players who weren't on the roster. I'm not sure if they vote on the ring also or if management decides. In either case it's possible, but I can't think of any times when it's been possible.

Actually, beleive it or not, anyone can get a ring. There are no "set" rules as to who gets what. For instance if you were a good pal of the owner of the team, he could get you a ring. Thats messed up isn't it.

I don't remember that ever happening. I do remember times when players that had a significant part in a team's success being voted shares of playoff money when they didn't play in the playoffs for whatever reason.
