Joe Gordon was a 5X World Series Champion and the AL MVP in 1942. Manager Joe McCarthy once said about Gordon - “He is the greatest all-around ballplayer I ever saw, and I don’t bar any of them, is Joe Gordon.” Those words are especially telling considering the fact that McCarthy managed both Gehrig and DiMaggio. The following season Gordon justified McCarthy’s remark by winning the American League MVP Award over Triple Crown winner Ted Williams.
