Not done: WP:BASEBALL's longstanding consensus is to only do this for players on the active World Series roster, lest we have to include every random player who appeared in a single game for the team in the season. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:11, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- “Les we have to” accurately describe something on Wikipedia? Every newspaper in the country reports he is a 2024 World Series champion. Major League Baseball states he is one. His hall of fame plaque will list it. Every interview he gives and book written will mention this. A player could play 162 games + the NLDS/NLCS but if they’re injured and can’t play in the World Series, their Wikipedia page will purposely not list them as a World
- Series champion?
- I truly don’t understand how the decision years ago by a handful of people supercedes common sense objectivety AND factual information. Do you like doing this every year? It’s okay to admit mistakes were made and reverse course. 2603:8000:D003:A752:1D77:D21F:D35B:BB3C (talk) 19:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know why you used MLB as an example because his page at MLB.com does NOT list he is a World Series champ in 2024. And, as someone who has been reading the coverage carefully, most newspapers do not mention him as a champion either, just as a supportive presense in the dugout - if he is mentioned in the article at all which, more often than not, he isn't.
- The policy by WP:Baseball is pretty much the one adopted from Baseball Reference which states that anyone on the World Series roster will be listed as a World Series champion and not otherwise. Its the same as MLB.com's policy - though their pages are not entirely reliable because their WS-crediting policy varies from case-to-case, especially for older players. Its not perfect and can SEEM unfair but its better than the alternative of giving credit to every Tom, Dick, and Harry who made even one regular season appearence for the team but didn't do much else.

- Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but I noticed that Bref lists Kiermaier as a 2024 World Series champ (MLB.com does not), even though he was left off the WS roster, so their policy may be to include anyone on any postseason roster. Namelessposter (talk) 15:12, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- No worries! Trust me, this topic comes up pretty much every year!
- About that, I'm not entirely sure. For BBref, in some cases, players who made appearences in the postseason but were left of the WS roster are listed but, in some cases, they aren't. But that's why I said "pretty much"; Wiki policy is not entirely the same as BBref which I guess allows a bit of gray area.
- Perhaps @Yankees10 can explain a little more about that. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:05, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
