Remembering The Legends (or legends for the wrong reasons)

[frankbmd]

Let’s make a trivial train of players, by creating a brief autobiographical clue including several facts or hints but not the name. Let the player tell his own story. The member who identifies the unknown legend may then post another unknown and the cycle is repeated. I will start with legend number one.

#1 - “Let me buy you a drink, this round is on me. I may have seen you before, but I really can’t see, so I’m not really not sure. I was the Aroldis Chapman of baseball well before he was born. Who I am?”

1. RYNE DUREN
2. JOHN MONTGOMERY WARD
3. CAP ANSON
4. HUGH JENNINGS
5. HARRY STOVEY
6. JOHNNY LUSH
7. JIMMY SHECKARD
8. EDDIE WAITKUS
9. EDDIE GAEDEL
10. JOE CLEARY
11. JOE JUDGE
12. JOHNNY DICKSHOT

In case I am right I will add the next:

Perfect lawyer Helen war
You have my career and a little more
Who am I?

Apologies in advance on this one if anyone is sensitive to the topic. That said, this is an easy one.

1) I was a great hitter and manager,

2) My middle name was the name for a film starred by Keanu Reeves, and

3) I used my name to create the color barrier.

okay,

I'm a hall of famer. My next clue would give it away.

There’s a peculiar irony in “stinking rules” that no one gives a shit about. Carry on.
