In 1922 Ken Williams of the St. Louis Browns hit .332 with 39 homers and 155 RBI (leading the league in the latter two categories), along with 37 stolen bases, which gave him the very first 30-30 season. Despite all this, he somehow didn't even place in MVP voting that year.

He also led the league in total bases with 367 and had 7.9 bWAR, the second most in the league behind teammate and batting title winner George Sisler who deservingly won the MVP that year with 8.7 bWAR, 246 hits, 134 runs scored, 51 stolen bases, and a .420 average. He remained the only member of the 30-30 club for over three decades before Willie Mays did it in back-to-back seasons in 1956 and 1957. I genuinely have no idea how he could've been so overlooked by the writers that season, the only reason I could really find was him and Babe Ruth (who also somehow didn't get any votes that season, albeit it was definitely one of his down years despite still leading the league in slugging percentage and OPS, even though those stats didn't exist yet) being suspended by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis for violating a curb on barnstorming, but even then I don't see why that would really deter voters from selecting him when that was such a small offense. This has to be one of the most egregious snubs from any MVP voting, even Albert Belle still finished top 3 in MVP voting from 1994-1996 while being public enemy number one to the voters.
