Former Phillies outfielder Buddy Kennedy is a World Series champion.
Two of the three major league teams he played for this year, the Blue Jays and Dodgers, will square off in the 2025 World Series. He’s one of two players, the other being pitcher José Ureña, to play for both pennant-winning clubs this season. He is guaranteed a World Series ring, regardless of the outcome of the Fall Classic.
Kennedy played in two games at the major league level with the Blue Jays and seven games with the Dodgers.
Kennedy, a native of Millville, N.J., was in a spring training battle with Kody Clemens for the final spot on the Phillies’ 26-man roster.
