Leo Kiely SF Seals 1957
But do you know Leo Kiely’s jersey number in 1957?
I just took a look at a game program from 1957 that I have to confirm.

Is this a former Stanford athlete? If not, I'll guess Jackie Robinson.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)

Dave Winfield was drafted into the NFL, NBA, and MLB, but I don’t think he played hockey.

John Elway is one of many drafted twice by MLB. Out of HS and after his Soph year at Stanford

Plus being drafted by the Colts (if memory serves) in the NFL makes three drafts, still one shy of Winfield’s 4.

I'm 6'7" and 275 pounds. I was All-American in both baseball and basketball at Ohio State. I was drafted by the Warriors, never played for them. Instead, I joined the Dodgers, was the NL rookie of the year, and hit 382 career home runs. My career really took off when Ted Williams took me under his wing, and I was an All-Star four consecutive times, leading the league in home runs twice.
Who am I?
