Winning a World Series is cool. So is winning a World Baseball Classic. How about both?
In the 2026 Classic, Venezuela was victorious over the United States, securing the country's first WBC title. In the process, five World Series winners also added a WBC title to their their résumés: Ronald Acuña Jr., Salvador Perez, Willson Contreras, William Contreras and Eduardo Rodriguez.
To qualify for this list, a player must have at least appeared in the regular season for a team that ended up winning the World Series that season. That means Acuña, who was injured during the Braves' 2021 World Series run, makes this list.
