Here we go again. Same rules as last time...guess, ask questions, whatever. If your question directly addresses an unrevealed clue then that clue will be reveealed. I guess I changed that part. With each new clue a new section of the puzzle is revealed. Your first clue, and the picture... Clues 1. I was not an Oakland A, ever. DFG is a fruit. Okay, that one doesnt help much, I'll reveal another... 2. I spent almost all of my 12 year career in the National League West Attachment: mystery.jpg (Downloaded 41 times) |

I spent almost all of my 12 year career in the National League West 3. I was once touted as a successor to a Hall of Fame first baseman. 4. My two most notable teammates during my peak went on to be key players for division winners in 1987. 5. My career path took me to some of the most unpopular uniform styles in baseball history.
