2001 UPPER DECK DECADE 1970s GAME USED BAT PART XXVII

 

                             "Now Batting #22 Jack Clark......" Jack 'The Ripper' Clark was an outfielder/first baseman played for the San Francisco Giants during the 1970's (1975-1984) then he was sent to St Louis Cardinals 1985-1987, then he went to the American League to become a DH for the New York Yankees 1988, after he feuded with Lou Piniella he requested to go back to the National League so he packed his bags for San Diego Padres 1989-1990 then he played 2 more years back in the American League again but this time he was with the Boston Red Sox 1991-1992. Once Boston released him he tried to get on with the Montreal Expos for the 1993 season but his back problems which were of the injuries that nagged him all throughout his career so with that happening he was released before playing any regular season games for them.  Jack was a 4 time All-Star, 2 time Silver Slugger award winner. 

When I think of Clark 2 images of him come to my mind the first is this card his 1982 Fleer. The reason is I saw this card in Beckett once where someone put like a comic balloon by the Umpire having him say "That's guy Jack he's the guy heckling ya to swing...." 

Tell me you don't see that Umpire pointing out the disrespectful fan for Jack.

The 2nd image is his 1988 Fleer Update card again but this time someone drilled a hole 🕳  like that on the side of his face.

Can ya picture that hole 🕳 on his face there.

              To me Jack yeah he played in late '70s on the fence of including him in this lineup cause again I see him mainly as an 1980s threat so what's your take on him do you include him or not lmk in the comments below until then our next batter is Joe Morgan until then remember Rogers Hornsby once said "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a communist."
