Newhouser almost won it a third time in a row.

People always say he wasn't that good because he won it in the war years. A number of players were back in 1945. Newhouser is one of those guys that I would consider if I was voting for the HOF.

His ‘46 season kinda proves it wasn’t just on account of the war. Even if it definitely had to help with a number of elite hitters being away.
