One quick note: American in #5 refers to the U.S. only, not Canada or Latin America. Or Native Americans for that matter. Or he could be Australian. ---

Geographically it looks we’ve eliminated everywhere except the Americas, with the exception of the United States. For Canada, maybe a hockey player. South of the border, maybe baseball or soccer. Only one who comes to mind is Fernando Valenzuela of the Dodgers, but Fernando-mania hit when I was in high school, so not before 1980. I surrender my Firstname Lastname question to whoever wants it. ---

The baseball and Canadian guesses were warm. I am in fact ## Fergie Jenkins Canada’s only citizen in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and one of the oldest living Hall of Famers. For more: [Ferguson Jenkins - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_Jenkins) ---

I can honestly say I’ve never heard of him. I don’t care much for basketball, though. ---

Not familiar with him. Based on the Wikipedia article, looks like he was before my time. And he was mostly AL East, which I ignore. ---
