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

Default 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 have a grandson named Grover, but that is irrelevant.
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.

This was moved from the water cooler section as it looks like those guessing need some help. Nice one, Frank....
