Walter Y CabecetaUNKNOWN
I have a couple other jerseys, and obviously I got the, uh, the, the hat that is from, uh, Baseballism.
Walter Y CabecetaUNKNOWN
But, uh, but yeah, no, one, one little quick anecdote, I was interviewing, my first time doing my podcast with, uh, with Jack Clark, and he grew up in Pittsburgh, and he was a huge Roberto Clemente fan.
Walter Y CabecetaUNKNOWN
We, we dove into that conversation-
Brian MurphyHOST
Wow
Markus BoucherHOST
When there's all this talk about Devers only putting up these numbers in meaningless games, if these games didn't mean anything, Devers would have shut down his body a couple weeks ago.
Brian MurphyHOST
Yeah, I mean, I got sad news for you, but the great Jack Clark, who I love, put up his numbers in meaningless games, too, because they were really bad.
Brian MurphyHOST
Anyway, bum baby number two.
Brian MurphyHOST
Well, I was looking around and again, this is off field news and it's bad news for the Rams.
Tom KellyGUEST
And plus that pitching staff they had, they were loaded.
Tom KellyGUEST
And Alexander Wayne lost the game since he got traded over to the Tigers and Jack.
Tom KellyGUEST
And they were loaded.
Tom KellyGUEST
I mean, and the clothes are...
7 MINS LATER
Tom KellyGUEST
playing at home and, Things went our way.
Tom KellyGUEST
We played good.
Tom KellyGUEST
They had, you know, they made a big deal out of Jack Clark not playing and Cardinals.
Russell NicoletHOST
But you still, I mean, against the Cardinals in the 87 series, you beat them.
WalterPANELIST
But, yeah, no, one little quick anecdote.
WalterPANELIST

WalterPANELIST
We dove into that conversation as well.
WalterPANELIST

Brian MurphyHOST
Well, I was looking around, and again, this is off-field news, and it's bad news for the Rams, and I think, yeah, it's definitely bum baby status.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
If you'd say, okay, if you had to name another first baseman, let's say Albert Pujols played his entire career for the Kansas City Royals or something.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
I tell you what, I think despite Paul Goldschmidt winning the MVP in 2022, I think Jack Clark's my guy because Jack Clark, if you think about There was a time where nobody, nobody in a Cardinal uniform could hit home runs hardly, right? He was a major, major power source.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
And I was looking, I told you I'm not going to do stats, but as a Cardinal, he was about 55% above league average offensively.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
I mean, tremendous impact.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
And I know he got hurt a few times, but I'm just saying, I didn't want to leave Jack Clark's name out of this big, broad discussion here.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
That's all I'm trying to say.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
And he was great in 1985 and 87.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
I
Matthew HenryHOST
He is chasing Willie Mazes' total of 20 in 1951 and Cepeda's franchise age 21 or younger record of 25 in 1958.
Matthew HenryHOST
Eldridge also became the first young giant since Jack Clark to hit at least 10 home runs in a season.
Matthew HenryHOST
Jack Clark did so in 1977 at the age of 21.
Matthew HenryHOST
Eldridge joined a rare homers and walk group.
Matthew HenryHOST
He became one of a select group of major leaguers to record at least 15 home runs and 50 walks in an age 21 or younger season.
Neil MichaelsHOST
That team in 1990 especially, that Padres team, man.
Neil MichaelsHOST
Tony Gwynn, Jack Clark, Benito Santiago, Robbie, I forgot Joe Carter was on that team until I looked...
Neil MichaelsHOST
I mean, th- this is a weird question to ask a guy who has had the kind of success you had, but when you're in that locker room, is it intimidating that they're there, or is it something where you're like, "I'm part of this army, let's go"?
Bip RobertsGUEST
I'm part of this army, let's go.
Bip RobertsGUEST
I always said Roberto Alomar made me the best Bip Roberts that I could be, because o- when I would get on first base, he would tell me, "I'm not doing anything until you steal second base."
Neil MichaelsHOST
[laughs]
Bip RobertsGUEST
Or then he would lay down a bunt and get me to third and scoring position, and then the guys behind him, Tony, Jack Clark, To- uh, Joe Carter would drive me in.
Bip RobertsGUEST
Joe Carter had 100 RBIs.
Lon SimmonsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Lon SimmonsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Lon SimmonsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Zach MorgensternHOST
Did you have any sort of concluding remarks for today? No, I'm happy to hear what you've got.
Zach MorgensternHOST
So, yeah, when looking at the various whitey ball teams, the one power hitter in that era seemed to be a guy named Jack Clark.
Zach MorgensternHOST
And I go on to his baseball reference page and he's actually depicted wearing a San Francisco Giants hat.
Zach MorgensternHOST
And that looks like the team he played for the most.
Zach MorgensternHOST
So it seems like the Giants had these two very similar and accomplishment Clarks who like would have played like one after another.
Zach MorgensternHOST
And I wonder if it helped with Will Clark's legacy.
Zach MorgensternHOST
Maybe people unconsciously just like mix him and Jack Clark together in their heads.
Zach MorgensternHOST
Yeah.
