What baseball mvp also finished in top 5 in the Heisman Trophy voting? I don't know, but Christy Mathewson was one of the first five elected to Cooperstown who also has a football stadium named after him. Frank Thomas won the baseball MVP and is in a television commercial with Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie. He also played tight end at Auburn. Baseball MVP Jackie Robinson was a star running back at UCLA. But my best guess is 1958 MVP, Red Sox outfielder Jackie Jensen and University of California football All-American who is the only person to play in the Rose Bowl, the World Series and the MLB All Star Game.

Still looking for that man. I’ll provide hints if no one gets it before too long.
He is also one of the answers to one of the classic multi-player mvp questions

I just edited my answer above to add Jackie Jensen. He's fodder for several trivia questions.

Jackie Jensen is correct. Player baseball and football for Cal and finished 4th in Heisman Trophy voting. Older posters may recall that he ended his baseball career early because he didn’t like to fly.
