My guess is Jesse Burkett.

I’m unique. why - Because I am the only HOF player with the same last name as Frank.

Jerry was never my business partner. why not - Because my name is not Ben, and I don't even like ice cream.

I was over 40 when I got my personal best. Did we win? - I hit .350 in 1912 at the age of 43 for the Worcester Busters, which was my best batting average when playing in the minor leagues. And Worcester won at least 56 games in 1912.

Brian,

Your thinking is commendable, but wrong for so many reasons that I will not enumerate.

The answer will be some obscure minor leaguer, or something even more off the wall.

I do like to think outside of the box that has been turned inside out.

I don't think so.
