how many world series rings does verlander have
Justin Verlander The winner of a number of accolades, Verlander is a seven-time MLB All-Star, has led the AL in strikeouts four times and in wins twice. He was the AL Rookie of the Year in 2006,[1] and on June 12, 2007, pitched the first no-hitter at Comerica Park, versus the Milwaukee Brewers.[2] In 2009, he led the AL in wins and strikeouts, both for the first time. Verlander produced his most successful season in 2011, including his second career no-hitter versus the Toronto Blue Jays on May 7, 2011.[3] By season's end, Verlander won the Pitching Triple Crown, the AL Cy Young Award unanimously, the AL Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award,[4] and the Sporting News Player of the Year Award. On August 31, 2017, the Tigers traded Verlander to the Astros, with whom he won the 2017 World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers, giving him his first career ring.[5] For his performance in the 2017 American League Championship Series, he was named MVP, and was co-winner of the Babe Ruth Award (with teammate José Altuve) for most outstanding performance in the 2017 postseason.
1990 World Series The 1990 World Series was the 87th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series and the conclusion of the 1990 Major League Baseball season. The Series featured the defending champions and heavily favored American League (AL) champion Oakland Athletics against the National League (NL) champion Cincinnati Reds. The Reds defeated the Athletics in a four-game sweep. It was the fifth 4-game sweep by the National League and second by the Reds after they did it in 1976, as well as the second consecutive World Series to end in a sweep, after the A's themselves did it to the San Francisco Giants in 1989. It is remembered for Billy Hatcher's seven consecutive hits. The sweep extended the Reds' World Series winning streak to nine games, dating back to 1975. This also was the second World Series meeting between the two clubs (Oakland won four games to three in 1972). As of 2017, this remains both teams' most recent appearance in the World Series.
