Every team that wins a World Series seems to follow a relatively similar formula. They usually have some of the best players in baseball and key role players that help push them to the top of baseball.
Looking back at the Yankees championships in the late 90s and in 2009, the top players that come to mind are Jeter, Rivera, Clemens and A-Rod with help from guys like Scott Brosius and Brett Gardner. However, the one extra piece that is needed for a championship are the players who seemingly come out of nowhere and play an instrumental role.
