Every player who won both the College World Series and MLB World Series

Also a standout football player at Cal, Jensen, who served in the U.S. Navy toward the end of World War II, was a pitcher and outfielder for the Golden Bears squad that won the inaugural College World Series in 1947. Then, in his first major-league season of 1950, Jensen was part of the world champion New York Yankees team. He played 45 games during the '50 regular season, but saw action in only one World Series contest, serving as a pinch-runner. Jensen went on to earn three All-Star nods and was AL MVP with Boston in 1958.

Southern Cal won the College World Series during Fairly's sophomore season of 1958, when he batted .348 and led the squad with nine home runs and 67 RBIs. He then embarked on a stellar major-league career that spanned 21 seasons. A two-time All-Star during the 1970s, Fairly was a three-time World Series champion with the Dodgers. However, he only saw extensive playing time during the 1965 series, where he went 11-for-29 with two home runs, six RBIs, and seven runs scored as Los Angeles topped Minnesota in seven games.

The diminutive Buford (5 feet, 7 inches) played a big game and joined the aforementioned Ron Fairly on the Trojans' national championship team from 1958. Buford, also a standout on the USC football team, hit .323 during the '58 campaign. In the majors, Buford spent season his first five seasons with the Chicago White Sox and the final five as an Oriole, where he was part of three teams that played in a World Series. Baltimore won just one title, in 1970, when Buford batted .267 with a home run in the series.

In terms of future major-league star power, the 1965 national champion ASU Sun Devils are tough to top. We begin with Bando, a Sun Devils star who batted .480 (12-for-25) with nine RBIs to earn Most Outstanding Player honors of the '65 CWS. However, Bando will always be known as a member of the "Swingin' A's," who won three straight World Series in the early 1970s. Bando was an All-Star each of those three seasons, but hit a collective .206 with no homers and four RBIs in 19 career World Series games.

Another star of the '65 ASU champs, Dyer batted .325 with four home runs, 38 RBIs, and 15 stolen bases to lead the Sun Devils to a conference title. He then homered during the CWS. As a pro, Dyer played parts of 14 MLB seasons and was a popular catcher, notably for the Mets, with whom he was part of their "Amazin'" run to the 1969 World Series title. Dyer, however, played in just one game with a single at-bat during that Series. 

While Bando and Dyer were elite players, Monday was the true star of ASU's legendary '65 squad. The national player of the year, Monday batted .359 with 11 home runs that season, including two in the College World Series. He was also the first-ever player selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, and played 19 seasons with two All-Star nods. However, it wasn't until the final years of his career that Monday was part of a World Series-winning team. After clubbing his legendary two-run homer in the ninth inning of the deciding Game 5 of the NLCS against Montreal in 1981, Monday had three hits in 13 at-bats during the Dodgers' World Series triumph over the New York Yankees. 

Another ASU-Mets World Series double. Gentry transferred to Arizona State from Phoenix College, and was a star of the '67 CWS, when he pitched a 14-inning, complete game during the Sun Devils' 4-3 victory over Stanford. Gentry, who yielded two earned runs in 23 innings at the CWS, was 17-1 with 13 complete games and a 1.14 ERA and a school record 229 strikeouts in 1967. Two years after becoming a college champion, Gentry helped the Mets during their rather miraculous run to the 1969 World Series. A teammate of the aforementioned Duffy Dyer, Gentry went 13-12 with a 3.43 ERA in 35 starts as a rookie in '69. He pitched 6 2/3 innings opposite Baltimore star Jim Palmer and also delivered a two-run double during a 5-0 win in Game 3 of the World Series.

Smalley made the most of his two seasons at USC, winning a national title in each year and being named a member of the College World Series 1970s All-Decade team. The standout shortstop earned All-College World Series tournament honors in '73, when he batted .338 with 29 home runs on the season. Smalley then played 14 MLB seasons, including two stints with Minnesota, where he was an All-Star in 1979 and won the World Series in his final big-league campaign. He played in four games during the '87 World Series, going 1-for-2 with a double and two walks.

A teammate of the aforementioned Smalley at USC, Dauer was also a two-time College World Series champion. An All-American infielder for the Trojans, Dauer led the nation in hits (108) and RBIs (92) in 1974. He then spent all 10 of his major-league seasons with the Orioles, where he was a stellar second baseman. During Game 4 of the '83 World Series, Dauer went 3-for-4 with three RBIs for the Orioles, who beat Philadelphia in five games.

Affectionately known as "Zonk," Moreland began his college career playing both football and baseball for the Longhorns, However, he eventually stuck with the latter, and was a three-time All-American. Moreland helped Texas to three straight CWS appearances and ranks among the all-time leaders with 23 hits in the tournament. Moreland capped his college career with a national title as a third baseman, then five years later, he was a World Series champion outfielder for the Phillies. He went 4-for-12 during the 1980 World Series.  

Vosberg was a freshman when Arizona won the 1980 national championship, and that paved the way for an All-American college career. Vosberg, who recorded 17 conference victories and 15 complete games, played for eight different teams during a major-league career that spanned parts of 10 seasons. The left-hander began the 1997 season with Texas, then was traded to the Florida Marlins, where he pitched in two World Series games -- allowing two earned runs, three hits and three walks in three innings, but still got a ring.

Bates enjoyed an All-American career at Texas (batting .312 with a .969 fielding percentage) and started it with a bang while being named to the All-College World Series team as the Longhorns won the national championship. Bates played just 29 games in just two big-league seasons. However, after he was traded from Milwaukee to Cincinnati during the 1990 season, Bates became a World Series winner in rather memorable fashion. In the bottom of the 10th of 4-4 contest in Game 2 of the World Series versus Oakland, pinch-hitter Bates reached on an infield single and ultimately scored the winning run on Joe Oliver's hit.

A legend at both the college and major league level, Clemens went 13-5 with a 3.04 ERA and 151 strikeouts as a Texas sophomore in 1983. He also tossed a complete game with nine strikeouts in the 4-3 title-winning victory over Alabama in the CWS. At the pro level, of course, Clemens is one of the greats (seven Cy Young Awards, 11-time All-Star,  4,672 strikeouts) despite not being in the Hall of Fame due to his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs. Though Red Sox fans are probably more peeved that one of their heroes won two World Series as a Yankee.

Sprague certainly pulled off a rarity during his playing days -- winning both the College World Series and World Series on back-to-back occasions. A star for the Cardinal, Sprague drove home the winning run during the 1987 title clincher. Sprague, whose father pitched in the majors, didn't wait long to become a World Series champ at the major-league level. Sprague got only two at-bats during the '92 Series, but clubbed a memorable go-ahead, two-run homer in the ninth inning off Atlanta's Jeff Reardon in the Blue Jays' 5-4 victory in Game 2. 

A stellar college baseball player, Redman went 5-0 as a sophomore during the postseason when the Sooners won the 1994 College World Series. The left-hander then played for eight different teams during an MLB career that spanned 1999-2008. Redman spent only one season in Florida with the Marlins, but it was certainly a memorable one as he went 14-9 with a 3.59 ERA during the 2003 campaign. Now, Redman was rocked by the New York Yankees during his only start in Game 2 of the World Series, but he does have a ring.

One half of LSU's gritty duo that helped the Tigers to the 2000 College World Series title. A terror during the 2000 postseason, the scrappy Fontenot was a beast in Omaha, batting .462 with two doubles, a home run, two RBIs, and six runs. In the majors, Fontenot made his name as a dependable contributor with the Chicago Cubs, but they traded him to San Francisco during the 2010 campaign. Now, Fontenot saw action in just one World Series game that fall, but has a ring to show for the effort.

Mike Fontenot's running mate at LSU, where he was also a star, Theriot scored the winning run in the Tigers' 2000 title-clinching contest at the CWS. In the majors, Theriot joined Fontenot in Chicago to begin his career and helped the Cubs make consecutive playoff appearances in 2007 and '08. However, he would earn his first World Series ring with the rival Cardinals in 2011 and another the next year, his final MLB campaign, as a Giant. Theriot went 2-for-13 in his World Series career.

A standout college player, Turner helped Fullerton reach the CWS in 2003, when he was an all-tournament selection. The next season, Turner led the Titans to the national championship. A two-time All-Star, Turner, a member of the Chicago Cubs in 2025, has played in three World Series and had a big part in the Dodgers' 2020 championship. During that World Series, Turner batted .320 with four doubles and two home runs as the Dodgers topped Tampa Bay in six games.

One of the great players in the history of the College World Series. Bradley helped lead the Gamecocks to back-to-back titles and earned MOP honors for batting .345 (10-for-29) during the 2010 tournament. At the major-league level, Bradley had an inconsistent career. He was a member of the Red Sox when they won it all in 2013, but was left off the World Series roster. However, after earning NLCS MVP honors in 2018, Bradley earned his World Series ring with Boston that season, and homered for one of his two hits in Game 3 against the Dodgers in the Fall Classic.

Buehler was a sophomore when Vanderbilt won the 2014 College World Series, going 12–2 with 111 strikeouts and a 2.64 ERA during the season. Early in that CWS, Buehler tossed 5 1/3 innings of no-hit relief to get the win against UC Irvine. Also a two-time All-Star, Buehler is 2-0 with an 0.47 ERA in four appearances -- three starts -- spanning three different Fall Classics. In 2024, Buehler earned the Series-clinching save in Game 5 against the New York Yankees. 

In his first season as a full-time starting second baseman for Vandy, as a sophomore, in 2014, Swanson, a teammate of Walker Buehler, was named Most Outstanding Player of the CWS for batting .323 with two RBIs in Omaha. Then in his sixth season as a major-leaguer with the Braves, Swanson clubbed a career-high 27 homers in 2021. He went deep twice in the World Series, including a tying solo shot in the seventh inning of Atlanta's 3-2 victory over Houston in Game 4.

The most recent player to achieve this impressive double. As a junior in 2015, Sborz proved to be the brightest star to shine during the Cavaliers' run to the national championship. The right-hander was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2015 College World Series when he posted three wins and recorded the title-clinching save while throwing 13 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts. Sborz's major-league career began with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he proved a key part of Texas's World Series triumph in 2023. He got the final seven outs to earn the save in the Rangers' Game 5 clincher against Arizona.
