Message: [QUOTE="CA Monk, post: 3025839, member: 5268"] Teddy Ballgame hits .406 in 1941 - I say again, .406 - and does not win the MVP. Next year he wins the Triple Crown and does not win the MVP. In ‘47 wins the Triple Crown again and does not win the MVP award. Just bewildering. What a baseball oddity. I guess it helps to be amicable with the press. Pitching did rule in ‘68. So much so that in 1969 the powers that be lowered the mound 5 inches to spark a little more fan-oriented offense. Sorry, don’t mean to hijack here. Baseball just has so many wonderful cross currents. [/QUOTE]
