Who Am I? #4
Leon moved #3 to the main board, so I'll just start here.
I was known as a fine player. Some even called me the finest, a league leader. I retired the same year as a chap named Augie, who struck out three times in our last game I recall.

Was he a great twirler with plenty of strike-out records from the cotton country whose dad was quite a ballplayer in his day?

The answer of course is Taft 'Taffy' Wright, a leader in the fine stretchy candy category. In fact, one could say he is in a league of his own.
Brian (not my fine stretchy candy card)

Taffy Wright may be close, but the question is close to what?

Just a hint
I once played in a World Series with Augie as well, I believe.

Mungo was literally the first person I thought of and looked up, but Galan's last MLB game was in 1949 and Mungo's was in 1945. Was stuck on Galan as opposed to Bergamo.

It is hard to figure out the answer when you are not sure which clues are true and which are not...but to show there are no hard feelings, here is my Mungo card.
Edited to add: as per a PM from Frank, his World Series clue was an error and not an attempt to deceive...Mungo was on the 1941 Dodgers at one point in the season but did not play for them in the Series.
