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.

The Yankees won the AL all 3 of those years and the MVP was given to a Yankee. The only year Ted's Red Sox finished 1st, he won the MVP.
