re: SF Giants to retire Will Clark's 22

Not a big Will Clark fan by any means but Clark is one of the few '80s stars whose power numbers actually went down in the steroid era which tells me that he was probably clean for most of his career

From what I understand he basically played with bone shards in his elbow for the second half of his career, where it hurt to grip the bat, which resulted in a drop in his power numbers.

Not sure why he didn’t have some surgery on it, but apparently he was a guy who didn’t want to miss games when he had a contract to fulfill.

A second hand story from a guy that played with him.

Clark is a hell of shot as well, obviously.
