Dolph Camilli Marquee

He led the National League with 34 home runs and 120 runs batted in in 1941 and won the Most Valuable Player award with 300 points of 336 and 19 first-place votes. Brooklyn won 100 games and its first pennant since 1920, and lost the World Series to the Yankees in five.

Twelve seasons gave him 1,482 hits, 239 home runs, 950 runs batted in and 947 walks — he led the league in walks twice and drew more than a hundred in five different years, at a time when that was regarded as passivity rather than skill.

He was from San Francisco and had been a professional boxer before baseball; his brother Frankie, who fought as Frankie Campbell, was killed in the ring by Max Baer in 1930. He refused a trade to the Giants in 1943 and left the game rather than take it, coming back only for a few weeks with Boston two years later. Four writers' ballots gave him no more than four votes. He died in 1997, at ninety.
