To follow up on DB930's comments about Williams not being a media darling, especially in MVP voting, consider this:
1941 - Ted .406/ 37/120 2nd to Joe D. (NYY) .357/30/125
1942 - Ted .356/ 36/137 2nd to Joe Gordon (NYY) .322/18/103
* Triple Crown year for Ted and still loses to Gordon
1947 - Ted .343/ 32/114 2nd to Joe D. (NYY) .315/20/97
* Another Triple Crown year for Ted and still loses
1948 - Ted .369/ 25/127 3rd to Lou Boudreau (CLE) .355/18/106
* Ted led the league in Doubles as well
1957 - Ted .388/26/85 2nd to Mickey Mantle (NYY) .365/34/94
* At 38 years old he also led the league in BA/OBP/SLG/OPS/OPS+
Ted also led the league in RUNS in: 1940/1941/1942/1946/1947/1949
RED = Led the League in that category.
