Criminal.

Well he got robbed by DiMaggio the year before, so maybe he got used to it.

Anyone who hits .406 and doesn't win the MVP HAS to be the most underrated.

I was looking through Cobb's career and his 1927 season was insane. He was 40 years old and scored 100 runs, stole 22 bases and hit 357.

Honus Wagner in 1908. He led the NL in BA, SLG, OPS, OPS+, H, 2B, 3B, RBI, SB and TB. He was 2nd in HR and Runs. He was 2 HR and 1 run scored short of leading the league in every major offensive category. He did this while playing shortstop in a pitcher's park. His season is underrated because other than his 11.5 WAR, his raw numbers don't stand out. 1908 was the lowest run scoring season of the 20th century. Because of this his season was worth 59 win shares. Babe Ruth's highest win shares for a season was 55.

Perhaps not THE most underrated, but certainly, two of the most poorly timed best seasons were Billy Williams' 1970 & 1972 seasons.

He just happened to have his best two seasons the same year the Greatest Cather Ever had his.

ok. so perhaps I am biased being a fan, but how about Lou Gehrig 1934 season

154GP, 210 hits, 363 BA(1st in AL), 49 HR(1st in both lgs), 166 RBI(1st in both lgs), 465 OBP(1st in AL), 706 SLG(1st in both lgs), 1.172 OPS(1st in both lgs), 207 OPS+(1st in AL), 409 total bases(1st in both lgs), WAR 10.1(1st in AL) with only 31 SO... He also only made 8 Errors in 1372 chances at FB for a 994 Fielding pct.
Won the Triple crown and came in 5th in MVP voting!!!
