      You got 3, including one of the two 6-timers.

      Pee Wee Reese (6: Dodgers 1941, '47, '49, '52-53, '56)
      Carl Furillo (5: Dodgers 1947, '49, '52-53, '56)
      Gil Hodges (5: Dodgers 1947, '49, '52-53, '56)

      Branca and Snider were good guesses -- each of them played on WS-winning teams in 5 seasons, but did not actually play in the WS in one of those seasons.

      6 to go.

          Jackie Robinson would have to be another.

            Terry Pendleton lost two with the Cardinals and at least two with the Braves possibly a third.

              That they did. Two more down.

              Whitey Ford (5: Yankees 1955, '57, '60, '63-64)
              Mickey Mantle (5: Yankees 1955, '57, '60, '63-64)

              Yup.

              Terry Pendleton (5: Cardinals 1985, '87; Braves '91-92, '96)
              Jackie Robinson (5: Dodgers 1947, '49, '52-53, '56)

              Only two players to go. One has 5 seasons, the other 6.

                  That is correct.

                  Fred Merkle (5: Giants 1911-13; Robins '16; Cubs '18)

                  Poor Merkle.

                  Only one left....

                    Elston Howard was around for those five Yankee losses, plus one more as a member of the 1967 Red Sox.

                      Yep he's gotta be the last one. I didn't even think of him. I was thinking of guys from the 1910's or 20's.

                        You got it. He's the last one.

                        Elston Howard (6: Yankees 1955, '57, '60, '63-64; Red Sox '67)

                        Thanks for playing!
