Today Buster Posey and Neftali Feliz won baseball's Rookie of the Year awards. Both their teams made it to the World Series this year. I've looked back a couple of decades and didn't find a World Series featuring the year's two RoYs, but past 1990 or so my World Series knowledge fades. Anyone know if this has happened before?
 
Shiningstar is correct. The last time it happened was 1981 with Valenzuela and Righetti. The only other time was in 1951 with Willie Mays and Gil McDougald.
 
Pretty sure it was 1981, Fernando Valenzuela of the Dodgers and Dave Righetti of the Yankees were in the World Series and then both won ROTY.
