Final ballot-no postseason credit but some small credit for playing for a Pennant-contender
1. Rogers Hornsby --amazing Triple Crown year
2. George Sisler --sadly his final great year, AL-leading .420 avg higher than 257-hit 1920
3. Ken Williams --very productive year, led in other AL Triple Crown categories
4. Bullet Joe Rogan --just ahead of Charleston
5. Oscar Charleston
6. Red Faber --best pitcher for what was left of Chicago team depleted by Black Sox scandal
7. Ty Cobb --hit .400 for first time in a decade & last time in career
8. Tris Speaker --just behind Cobb
9. Babe Ruth --probably would be #2 or #3 if not for suspension
10.Bob Shawkey --edges Urban Shocker for final spot
Best NL pitcher Wilbur Cooper just misses top 10, probably 12th or 13th
