I remember the name of my team, but I cannot remember whether it was baseball or football version. I did play a few games in San Francisco though, but always as a member of the visiting team. If you think your memory improves when you die, think again.

Would the team be the Cardinals? (just trying to help)

Or the Browns or Giants?

I think the baseball Giants and Browns are out because this person played games in San Francisco but always on the visiting team, and the St. Louis Browns never played at San Francisco.

Right. Browns, Giants, Cardinals football, or Cardinals baseball. And aside from Blanda, not very many football players play into their 40s. I'm thinking Cardinals baseball or football QB.

Good points made. I expect the correct answer within a week. Perhaps another hint will be needed in the morning or now.

By the way I am asymmetric.

Stan Musial? He was over 40 when he set the NL career hits record, as far as I can tell, never partnered with anyone named Jerry, and at the time of his retirement, was the only Cardinal with his number retired.
