Think you're thinking about DOCK ELLIS.

Used to be the answer to a trivia question:
*Name the Last AL MVP who was a Switch-Hitter.

RIP, Vida.

I was thinking of Doc Ellis and I stand corrected, good catch Chucky, thanks.
And it's not the first time either I've confused the two of them like that, it's like a mental block.
I'm only flesh and blood.

Believe or not, I knew that trivia, I've read that in a baseball trivia book.

It's easy to confuse those two. RIP, Vida.

Read this in his bio. Vida was a better athlete than I might have expected:

Blue attended DeSoto High School in Mansfield. He pitched for the baseball team and quarterbacked the football team. In his senior year of football, he threw for 3,400 yards and completed 35 touchdown passes while rushing for 1,600 yards. In his senior year of baseball, Blue threw a no-hitter with 21 strikeouts in just seven innings pitched.
