    Three times:

    1951: New York Yankees (Gil McDougald) defeat New York Giants (Willie Mays)

    1981: Los Angeles Dodgers (Fernando Valenzuela) defeat New York Yankees (Dave Righetti)

    2010: San Francisco Dodgers (Buster Posey) defeat Texas Rangers (Neftali Feliz)

    I wonder how often both ROY teams finished last?
