Rings tell story of baseball’s greatest teams
“The only thing on my mind now,” Carter said, “is getting that World Series ring.”
Taken literally, Carter seemed oddly excited for a single piece of jewelry, but he wasn’t just referring to a bejeweled metal band. A World Series ring, the individual player’s trophy for his team’s accomplishments on the field, is a glittering reflection of baseball championships past and present. The Hall of Fame’s collection of World Series jewelry allows visitors to explore the evolution of the ring throughout the years, from glamorous accessory to synonym for victory.
