I am still mystified by the following...

1941 - Ted Williams hits .406 and DOES NOT win the MVP Award.

1942 - Ted Williams win the Triple Crown and DOES NOT win the MVP Award.

1947 - Ted Williams win the Triple Crown and DOES NOT win the MVP Award.

It's simply mind-boggling. In '41 Williams .406 average was the highest since Rogers Hornsby hit .424 in 1924.

When he won the Triple Crown in '47, he became the only the second player to accomplish that feat. Rogers Hornsby being the other.
