world series pitcher (answered)

[POSADA is KING]

Who was the last player to win a World Series game for a team which acquired him in the middle of the season?

How about Sterling Hitchcock

Nice guess but wrong

umm...he's right, isn't he? I dont mean to be negative here, but try to know the CORRECT answer to any question you ask. If you think someone's done it more recently, then look up the definition of "acquired". The only people to win games in the WS more recently who didnt play full season's with their teams were John Lackey and F-Rod (with the Angels in 2002), so the "correct" answer would have to be one of them, so I'll take Lackey since he won game 7 and F-Rod won game 2. (The reason that these aren't really the correct answer is because they weren't acquired, they simply started their MLB careers for the Angels part way through the 2002 season. They were called up from the minors, not "acquired".

I'm sorry, by acquired i meant acquired through trade...and Hitchcock is still wrong according to ESPN.

and just to let you know, I do konw the CORRECT answer!

[utterchaos]

Hitchcock won game 5 vs Arizona in 2001. He was acquired on July 30, 2001 in a trade with the San Diego Padres for Brett Jodie and Darren Blakely.

Your original question said "player" not pitcher. If you're not looking for a pitcher than I guess Jeff Conine could be considered a correct answer.

Well then let me revise this, Who was the last pitcher to win a World Series game for a team which acquired him in he middle of the season? Hint: It was not in this decade or the 90's

[utterchaos]

I'm not sure who you're looking for since I'm sure Sterling Hitchcock fits the question. Here's a list of pitchers who won World Series games without beginning the season with the team. One of them should be correct.
