Did Bengie Molina indeed get BOTH a WS (Giants) and AL (Rangers) ring?

During last year's World Series, it was a big story that Bengie Molina played for BOTH the Giants and the Rangers (not both at the same time of course) in 2010, and thus would "get a World Series ring no matter what"; apparently the sixth player in history to have that distinction.

Well, they did do the ring ceremonies, so did he indeed get both a World Series (Giants) and AL Champion (Rangers) ring, or does he only get the WS one?

    He will get both. So will Chris Ray. Ray says he will wear the AL championship ring on his index finger and the World Series ring on his ring finger. link

    Bengie was invited to the Rangers ring ceremony last weekend, but supposedly due to pre-existing obligations, he was unable to attend. They are supposed to take care of him later this year.

    I read that the Giants will have a "Bengie Molina Day" or something like that where they'll honor him before a game and give him his ring. Molina is a 2 time winner of the Willie Mac Award, which is an award voted on by the Giants players as the "most inspirational Giant of the year". Molina helped build the elite pitching staff in SF, and was a fan favorite, as evidenced by the fact that when introduced before Game 1 of the World Series, Giants fans cheered enthusiastically, while other Rangers players got light-hearted boos or silence.
