Who am I?

I was originally drafted out of high school by the Toronto Blue Jays, but I did not sign with them, attending College instead.

Three years later, I was a first round pick in the Major League Draft, after winning the James E Sullivan Award as top amateur athlete in the United States the previous year.

I did not play a game in the minor leagues until after I had played eight Major League seasons, with at least 100 innings pitched in each of those seasons, and 200+ in four consecutive seasons.

I pitched a no-hitter for my second Big League team.

I retired after an extremely poor performance in my eighth ML season, leading the American League in Losses.

I returned after not playing for one full season, and played for a different team at five different levels in the same year, (A, A+, AA, AAA and Major Leagues) in my return season.

Who am I?

My father, (pictured above), and I both played Major League Baseball, and we were each named to one All Star Team.



I played all or part of twelve seasons in the Major Leagues, exclusively in the American League until the last two months of my career.

I was a left hand throwing switch hitter.

I hit 20 or more home runs in nine consecutive seasons with four different teams. I never had a 100 RBI season, but I did have 100 walks in one of my seasons.

When I signed as a free agent with the Cleveland Indians after rejecting a Qualifying Offer from the New York Yankees, the compensation draft pick received by the Yankees was used to select Aaron Judge.
