Who has played in a World Series and a NBA final series?

Update:

To: Logi Berra, yes there was at least one person

Update 2:

To David: You are correct, Conley is one of two players to have played in both WS and NBA finals and the only one to be on winners in each. Steve Hamilton, Yankees and Lakers, also appeared in two finals, but only won in Baseball

    Gene Conley won a World Series with the Braves in 1957 and won three NBA championships playing for the Boston Celtics. He holds the distinction of being the sole player to do so.

    Edit: Steve Hamilton also played in both the World Series (With the 1963 and 1964 Yankees) and played for the Minneapolis Lakers in the 1959 NBA final.

    By any chance I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but I don't think that there was a person to play in both.
