Notice the hole in the middle of the Ted Williams legacy. World War II robbed Williams of a chance to jump way up the best player of all-time list when those missing years are added in, but even despite that gap, his career still ranks #6 in Total PEVA for a career. But there's no denying just who stands out in the 1940s as having the best seasons of the decade. Taking the top 4 on the list, Ted Williams not only was the last player to bat 0.400 for a season in 1941, the #2 year on the list, but followed that up with arguably a better season, with 36 HR, 137 RBI, and a 0.356 average.
