1928 Zeenut card. I think you've solved it. Died a along time ago so not sure what that clue is about. Asymmetric? Looks like he was actually a switch hitter?

If you two were piloting a train, you clearly would be on the wrong track heading in the wrong direction.

I think the only hint that would tell us the answer is if you told us the answer.

You're kidding right? He played 20 minor league seasons. His most wins were over 40. He played in the PCL so he must have played at San Francisco. Cohen fits. He had one major card, 1928 Zeenut. Someone checks all those boxes and is wrong? Mind blowing lol.

Gentlemen. I told Brian privately that i would give him credit for identifying Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream in the second original clue, but he did not recognize the intent of the clue. Jerry's ice cream buddy and partner was Ben Cohen. I share one of Ben Cohen's names and if it isn't clear at this point, it isn't Cohen.

By the way, my personal best over the age of 40 occurred in the Cotton Bowl.
