I can't be more specific, re-read the clues, this was an actual, physical posession.

Boomer paid Tony Fernandez $500 dollars for hitting a game-winning hit.
Didn't even want to pay him

Actually he's related to Merv Griffin.

Paul Molitor lost his #4 uniform when he came to Toronto, because that was Alfredo Griffin's number?

I am assuming those two posts are hints, but I'm still completely stumped. Even guessing would be fruitless.

Ok... based on the clues, I think I know the answer:

I just got back from the Jim
Jim-dandy
hhmmm... .could it be Jim as in Acker, Key, Clancy or Gott?
no one has got this yet

I'm guessing Jim Gott, but have no idea why.

Jim Gott won his first major league game and subsequently was given the game ball of course, the win came against Baltimore, Appearing at ss beginning a consecutive innings record was Cal Ripken. When Cal Ripken broke Gehrig's record, he was presented on National Tv, with...a present from Jim Gott. I knew it was obscure, but, go back and look at the hints, there are several more. I will put up a new question later.

I was drafted by the Denver Broncos, but left them in the dust after training camp. Later, my claim to fame was my disappearing act.

Rick Leach was a Wolverine QB drafted by the Broncos. He was then a 1st round pick by the Tigers to much fanfare, but I don't recall him doing much when he got called up. Did play for the Jays for a few years. I don't recall what his disappearing act was, unless you're referring to his playing skills that got him drafted in the 1st round, only to not be able to be a starter anywhere.
