Joe DiMaggio, 1947 AL MVP
Joltin’ Joe had one of his worst seasons in 1947 — of the the 11 seasons in which he played in at least 120 games, his 20 homers in ’47 were the fewest, and his 97 RBI were the second-fewest. For the second time in his career, Ted Williams won the triple crown and led the league in runs but didn’t claim MVP, this time losing out by a single vote point, 202-201.
