In the February issue of Baseball Digest, there was a list in the letters section of foreign players who played in the World Series.
According to that list, for Panama, there were only three players named: Hector Lopez (five World Series), Manny Sanguillen and Mariano Rivera.
However, besides those three, there are several other Panamanians who have played in the Fall Classic, including Roberto Kelly, Ramiro Mendoza and Ruben Rivera.

Thank you for the additional names. However, as was pointed out in our response, the list included only the more prominent foreign-born players, not all, who appeared in the World Series.
Regarding the nine members of the 1932 world champion Yankees who made it to the Hall of Fame (April Baseball Digest), let's add manager Joe McCarthy and make it an even ten.
