O’Farrell’s Cardinals teammate Rogers Hornsby, a player-manager, claimed the award in 1925, so perhaps voters resisted giving it to him a second time around. Hornsby wasn’t the only Cardinals player to post better numbers than O’Farrell, who hit seven homers and drove in 68 runs; Les Bell and Jim Bottomley also would have been better choices.
