How much did Yankee players earn for World Series win?
That answer is yet to be determined but this is how the MLB calculates payouts:
The MLB pools 60% of the gate receipts from the first four games of the World Series, the ALCS, NLCS and the first three games of the four Division series. That amount is split and distributed as follows:
- World Series Winning Team: 36%
- World Series Losing Team: 24%
- League Championship Series Losers: 12% each
- Division Series Losers: 3% each
- Non-Wild Card Second Place Teams: 1% each
In 2008, each Philadelphia Phillies player was paid $351,504.48 for winning the World Series and each Tampa Bay Rays player pocketed $223,390.05. In 2003, the share each player from the Florida Marlins received for winning the World Series was $306,149. The record payout for a winner was back in 2006 when the St. Louis Cardinals took the trophy and $362,173. To put that in perspective, in 1903 the winner's share was a mere $1,182.
On top of all that, their championship rings are valued anywhere between $20,000 and $40,000. World Series MVPs also win a car.

Can you change your 25 man roster once the playoffs start?
Yes, but there are some penalties.
If a manager replaces one person on a team's roster with another person, the person removed can not play in either the round the team is presently in OR the next round of the playoffs. Thus, a manager would not remove a player unless he is pretty severely injured.

Why do baseball movies always end with the Pennant and not the World Series?
Probably because the World Series is a trademark that would require a large payment to Major League Baseball to use.
Was Gene Bearden the only left-handed knuckleball pitcher to pitch in a World Series game?
Perhaps, depending on your definition of knuckleball.
Clarence Mitchell appeared twice (in 1920 for Brooklyn and in 1928 for St. Louis), in a long relief role in each case. Mitchell probably threw more of a knuckle-curve than what today is deemed a knuckleball, but it was called a knuckleball at the time.
Bearden, on the other hand, threw both a knuckleball (using the middle three fingertips of his pitching hand on top of the ball) and a spike curve (using the bent middle finger of his pitching hand on the ball). The Sporting News had illustrations of his grips in the issue that covered the World Series in 1948.
More recent left-handed knuckleball pitchers had some success in the major leagues--notably Mickey Haefner in the 1940s and Wilbur Wood in the 1960s and 1970s--but never made it to the playoffs.
