Dual Champions Update

Just about a month ago I did a post about the only two players on MLB playoff teams that could potentially become the twelfth player in history to win both a Nippon Series championship and a World Series championships.  With the Braves knocking off the Astros in six games, Chris Martin has become that guy.  Martin is the sixth foreign player to do it and the first since Dan Gladden in 1994.  He's also the first foreign player to win his World Series after winning his Nippon Series.

I thought I'd take the opportunity to do an updated post showing all 12 players - the last time I did this was eight years ago.  I'll remind you of the rules - to qualify, the player has to appear in the World Series or Nippon Series in question, not just be on the roster or to have played for the team in their winning season.  So George Vukovich, who was on the roster for the 1980 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies but didn't play in the Series and then won Nippon Series with the Seibu Lions in 1986 and 1987, doesn't count.  Neither do Adrian Garrett (14 games for the 1972 A's, won championship with 1979 Carp), Doug Jennings (4 games for 1989 A's, NPB champ with 1996 Blue Wave), Domingo Martinez (15 games between 1992 & 1993 for Blue Jays, NPB Champ with 2000 Giants) and Munenori Kawasaki (16 games with the 2016 Cubs, NPB Champs with the Hawks in 2003 & 2011) - there may be others like these four.

Here's the list of players, more or less in the order that they made the list.  Their World Series winning teams are listed first, followed by their Nippon Series winning teams:
