1) I was a New York native and I originally signed with my hometown club. Before I turned 25 I had drove in at least 150 RBI in one year, batted over .325 twice, and had hit over 25 homers in a season. However, although I had a long career covering parts of three decades, I never surpassed those numbers again and in fact never drove in 100 or more again. I never won an MVP but finished in the top 10 in each league. I was once traded from the AL to the NL for a player who would go on to be a World Series hero for his new team. Who am I?

2) I was drafted by a California team but only played one season in the majors with that club. I was primarily known as a member of a successful AL club that made the postseason three years in a row during my stay there. I was a swing man, sometimes in the rotation, sometimes working out of the pen behind our talented staff. In fact, I had the distinction of winning Pitcher of the Month honors twice in one season – once as a starter, once as a reliever! I won in double figures six times in my career with a high of 17. I once had a no-hitter broken up in the 9th by a future Hall of Fame outfielder. Who am I?

3) I played 13 seasons and was a 2-time All Star. I hit a home run in my first World Series at bat but it ended up being one of only 3 hits I got in the entire series while my club lost in 7 games. I did end up on a World Series winner but not until my final season in the big leagues. My team getting to that Series was not due to me since I barely was able to bat my listed weight (213 pounds) that year. I was able to redeem myself in that Series with a key hit in Game Four. I had some real power and one of my home runs was part of a record. I was once traded for a pitcher who went on to set a World Series record. Who am I?
