 Time to guess: Barry Lamar Bonds.
This is it! Missed the asterisk though after Bonds*

Once again the commentariat doesn’t seem to be close and then someone pulls the answer out of left field ( ;) ) to become the new QM. Seven time MVP Bonds may be out of the Hall of Fame, but now he is at least on WebDiplomacy’s 20 question answer list.
Thanks for the fun round! As a Pirates fan, I must post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgjIVvEQo_o

 Nice! I had him on a list of more than 10 possibilities. Seems California churned out a lot of talent in those 13 years.
I was pretty confident it was going to be Bonds or Randy Johnson, depending on how much the QM supported violence against birds.

 Does this person have more than 10 MLB all star selections?
Scratch this. I misread NFL as NHL

 Do we still have a 19th and 20th question? (This is not a question)
Yep, there still are two more questions. Just make sure you get your free guess in before Q20 is answered.

So we're looking for a Western US born, California living, MLB or NFL player born 1960-1972.
