    Not a sufficient argument, but yes, this explains much of why he got the award.https://twitter.com/markwooster/status/1151531908259405824 …

    DiMaggio clearly was the MVP. Yanks were wallowing in third when the streak started, were easily in first when it ended, cruised to the pennant from there.

        I'm guessing his being a Yankee didn't hurt.

        Totally sufficient — Red Sox could have finished 17 games behind without Williams. DiMaggio was more valuable.

        Also remember — while hitting .400 was seen as great, it was the 13th time that century that it had been done, no one had a clue it was maybe the last time ever. No one had ever hit in 56 straight games.

        By the way, there was no sacrifice fly scoring rule in 1941 — if your fly out scored a run from third, you were still charged with an 0-1. If it had been in effect, Williams would have batted .417. And Joe still should have been MVP.

        DiMaggio was a better all around player. Having said that, his 125 RBIs to Ted's 120 is the only big hitting category where he did better. During the hitting streak Ted had a higher batting average than Joe. WAR & OPS, clearly in Ted's favor. Writers hated Teddy Ballgame.
