Former catcher and Purple Aces Hall of Famer Sal Fasano is the Atlanta Braves coach for catchers. If the Braves win, does anyone know if Sal would be the first former Aces baseball player to win a World Series ring? According to Baseball Almanac, eight former Aces have played in MLB and none have won a World Series as a player. I'm not aware of anyone that may have been a career minor leaguer turned coach that was on a major league staff during a World Series. Don Mattingly was presented an honorary doctorate degree from UE but has never made it to the World Series as a player, coach, or manager.
