Well I see you don’t really offer an argument as to why Teddy Ballgame failed to win the MVP in 1941. I believe the answer is because the voters believed someone else had a more special season, and...

Hmm, Ted's best season was likely 1941 when he hit over .400 and led the league in HRs. He did not win the MVP-- that went to Dimaggio. A never before 56 game hit-streak no doubt helped Joe, but...

If you are suggesting that the A.L. was somehow allowed to score two runs in the 9th so that MLB could roll out its new format then your comment is laughable.

Yes, what adds to the weirdness is that he forced a fumble returned by Eller for a TD that very same quarter (recovered another also) so you'd think he was well aware of which end was which. Also...

I can't even imagine how excruciating that must feel, and I'm a Vikings fan. Hold them to one goal for 58 minutes and then yield a pair in the final two-- the last with three seconds left? Then they...
