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

Eric, I am not Randy Johnson, but your reasoning is commendable. As far as being unique, is there any evidence that I have the biggest "unit"? I think not. The idea of a perfect game over the age of 40 is similar to the one I have in mind and with no earlier perfect games in his career. As far as the "Jerry" is concerned, the one in the clue I have never met.

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.
