Okay, here's what I can find:
1903 Boston Red Sox - watch fob
1904 no Series
1905 New York Giants - tie pin
1906 Chicago White Sox - watch fob
1907 Chicago Cubs - watch fob
1908 Chicago Cubs - watch fob; losers Detroit had Elgin watches
1909 Pittsburgh Pirates - watch fob, Jules Jurgensen watch given by team owner
1910 Philadelphia Athletics - watch fob
1911 Philadelphia Athletics - watch fob
1912 Boston Red Sox - watch fob, (probably unofficial) Dubois/Longines watch
1913 Philadelphia Athletics - E. Howard (players), Waltham Colonial (management) given by team owner
1914 Boston Braves - tie pin, some were made into rings
1915 Boston Red Sox - watch fob
1916 Boston Red Sox - Gruen V4 Octathin
1917 Chicago White Sox - watch fob
1918 Boston Red Sox - watch fob
1919 Cincinnati Reds - watch fob
1920 Cleveland Indians - cuff links, watch fob
1921 New York Giants - watch fob
1922 New York Giants - ring - first "official" ring
1923 New York Yankees - Gruen V2.5 Pentagon (possibly other calibers too)
1924 Washington Senators - watch fob
1925 Pittsburgh Pirates - watch fob
Rings were official issue every year from here on, but that doesn't mean other things weren't issued!
1926 St. Louis Cardinals - rings, Illinois A. Lincoln pocket watch (from fans by subscription)
1928 New York Yankees - Hamilton wristwatch
1930 Philadelphia Athletics - Hamilton (?? private label) pocket watch, tie pin
1931 St. Louis Cardinals - Waltham 21j Colonial A pocket watch (from fans by subscription)
1937 New York Yankees - Hamilton pocket watch
1938 New York Yankees - Hamilton pocket watch
1941 New York Yankees - Hamilton pocket watch
1944 St. Louis Cardinals - Gruen unknown model, probably 380
1947 New York Yankees - Hamilton 21j pocket watch
1956 New York Yankees - Rolex Oyster Perpetual wristwatch
So it turns out there were three years with Gruen watches! The 1944 watches are quite striking.
Also it appears that the Yankees were rich - who would have thought?
