Jack ‘The Ripper’ Clark Signed Baseball

Jack ‘The Ripper’ Clark Signed Baseball

You may recall that a few months ago I sent in a baseball for a Harold Baines signing.  Well, I actually sent in two baseballs for that event.

1 was for me, and 1 was for a reader of this site – McGee-Fan51.  Gerad has been a loyal reader of this blog since the beginning, and he also happens to really like Harold Baines.  So, I hooked him up.

And as ‘payback’, Gerad took care of me at a recent autograph signing he attended in St. Louis.  The player?

Jack Clark!!!

Here is the ball:

Clark has a pretty sweet autograph, huh??  And for a slugger, his signature is quite artsy…

Clark was a true slugger during his playing days!!  From the moment that Clark earned a full-time job in the majors, he was producing runs at a torrid pace.  In total, Clark crushed 340 homers and drove in 1,180 runs.  He smashed at least 20 home runs in 11 of his 18 big league seasons, with his career high of 35 coming in 1987.

Thank you McGee-Fan51 and Thank you Mr. Clark!!!
