Also the guy who won in 41 also did something pretty remarkable, so that one is understandable.

This is absolutely correct. The media did not like Ted. And he wasn't crazy about them either. I believe the bad relationships did result in Ted being snubbed in some ways. Joe D. was obviously stellar in '41, and (as is so often the case) it didn't hurt that he played in NY.
