If you are not "black and white" type of guy then yes he will offend you.

Even in the documentary he stated he has started to see things in the gray area more. But his son has calmed him imo.

Those who have done work for him have nothing but great things to say about him.

Palmero was the dickhead. Clark was clean and honest. I guess people are offended by honesty. Not surprising in today's world.

One of the most overrated players of his generation

His stats and being clutch in playoffs say otherwise. Injuries derailed his career, but still a very good player. Better than Olerud for sure.

GOAT college baseball player


Of course most will say Barry Bonds...

But...

Pete Incaviglia finished his three year career at Oklahoma State with 100 home runs and a .915 slugging percentage, both all-time records.

His 1985 season was one for the ages, with a single season Division 1 record of 48 home runs, 143 RBI’s and a 1.140 slugging percentage.

Incaviglia led Oklahoma State to the College World Series in each of his years on campus.

He hit a ball out of the park at St. Paul's that didn't stop until it hit the cafeteria.

Let that sink in. Stew on that.



That's some torque, my little gay friend.

Putting in mildly. A huge red arse, even by MLB standards. I saw him get his clock cleaned by another patron in a Phoenix strip club during Spring Training when he spit on the guy, who told him to move his feet when he was blocking a walkway. Clark was literally out on his feet and had to be carried out of the club and deserved every bit of it.

Easily the GOAT! He is a member of the 2000 hit club, 250 HR club and almost reached the 70 stolen base club during his career. SO SICK!

Very good hitter.

Dickhead.

There were plenty of good-hitting 1st basemen during that time period. He would make the Hall of Very Good.

Well, Will Clark is certainly not the GOAT... or even close to it.

I hate Will Clark because I remember him playing like a dog for the Orioles and then hitting like .700 after he was traded to the Cardinals. I swear he hit more home runs with the Cardinals in two months than he did in 1 1/2 years with the Orioles.
