Wrong Jerry 1992 Olympics won but was that the personal best for any of the players. The Birmingham Barons are not a MLB team.

Who am I?
Just a hint. I have not been mentioned yet. No one will be able to deny that I am unique.

Randy Johnson
- Unique for several reasons (tallest MLB player from the 20th Century, hitting a bird in mid-flight with a pitched ball, quite possibly the most intimidating pitcher in MLB history, etc.) - Jerry Colangelo was never his business partner, although the two were linked due to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Colangelo led a group of investors that owned the team, Randy was (in essence) just an employee - Threw a perfect game after his 40th birthday

There may some hints in the paragraph above, and I will give more hints periodically. I would encourage everyone to think outside the box.

Before you began to molder, did you play a sport and if so, in which one were you most famous?

I remember the name of my team, but I cannot remember whether it was baseball or football version. I did play a few games in San Francisco though, but always as a member of the visiting team. If you think your memory improves when you die, think again.

Would the team be the Cardinals? (just trying to help)
|

|
||||
Or the Browns or Giants?

I think the baseball Giants and Browns are out because this person played games in San Francisco but always on the visiting team, and the St. Louis Browns never played at San Francisco.

Right. Browns, Giants, Cardinals football, or Cardinals baseball. And aside from Blanda, not very many football players play into their 40s. I'm thinking Cardinals baseball or football QB.

Good points made. I expect the correct answer within a week. Perhaps another hint will be needed in the morning or now.
By the way I am asymmetric.

Stan Musial? He was over 40 when he set the NL career hits record, as far as I can tell, never partnered with anyone named Jerry, and at the time of his retirement, was the only Cardinal with his number retired.

I was wondering about Lou Brock, who played past 40 and died asymmetrical (amputated leg.) But he didn't have any career best at the tail end of his career.

Neither Stan nor Lou is correct. I think the clues are difficult but fair and should lead to my identity and only my identity.

Grover Cleveland Alexander
Alexander was the subject of the 1952 biographical film The Winning Team, portrayed by Ronald Reagan, giving Alexander the unique distinction of being named for one U.S. president and being portrayed by another.
He developed cancer on his right ear, necessitating its amputation. After the end of prohibition, Alexander operated a tavern in St. Louis with Hughie Miller as his partner. |

I’m having difficulty identifying his career best after the age of 40 though. He did lead the league in WHIP at the age of 40, but that was not his lowest WHIP, so not a career best. Mark, unless you have an answer for the third clue, Grover Alexander is incorrect. And if you do have an answer, Grover is still incorrect. I’m probably going to reveal the answer with this one. I played for 9 different teams and my career spanned 20 years.
