I’m a stubborn bugger. I’ll stump you yet!
- My middle name is the last name of a well-known filmmaker who saw one of his movies win Best Picture the year before I was drafted.
- Actually, I was drafted earlier — twice, in fact — but didn’t sign.
- I struck out Robin Yount the only time I ever faced him.
- My playing career was over by the time I turned 30.
- I retired with an ERA over 3.00, but not by much.
Who am I?

Damn. Did I at least make you break a sweat?
Sure, you did, it was a lot of researching, cross referencing, and a lot of fun doing it, thank you very much.
Thanks, Carlos. I’m trying to find the right balance between too easy and too hard. Glad you enjoyed it!
