He was in a three way tie for 24th place for the MVP in 1925 with a rookie named Gehrig and Howard Ehmke, who was 9-and-20.
Roger Peckinpaugh was MVP that year and his teammate, Walter Johnson, who was 20-7 and batted .433 got no votes...neither did The Babe.
Amazing!
And, he never hit a home run (why do I feel like Red Buttons when I say that?)

That was my guess but I thought it didn’t quite fit. Now that you clarified it a bit, I realize I probably read the question wrong. I don’t see who else it could possibly be.
