Will Clark on time as Cardinal: 'It was love as soon as I got here'

[@KidFresh71]

As a lifelong Giants fan, I'm so happy that Will "the Thrill" ended his career on such a wonderful high note with the Cardinals. St. Louis is an amazing sports town, with some of the most knowledgeable, loyal and good-natured baseball fans in the world. Some baseball players just belong in the National league, and Will Clark was one of those players. Buster Posey and Will Clark are the only two Giants players I've seen go out at the very top of their game. Absolute legends.

[@jamesdavison2927]

Well stated I don't know much about San Fran sports fans but if they're like you they're probably awesome I treasure my memories of the 87 NLCS- some of my favorite Cards memories EVER WE WERE THRILLLLLLLED TO HAVE WILL HERE AWESOME DUDE TRULY

[@chemBTW]

my favorite players of all time for sure. lifelong giants fan and always had a bit of a soft spot for the cardinals even with the rivalry. will the thrill, man.....what a fucking legend

[@TheNairda76]

Too true. And as a Cardinals fan I reciprocate: always root for the Giants otherwise. SF is the best city in the country.

[@myquest666420]

One of my favorite players of all time. What a sweet swing this dude had!

[@joemckim1183]

Even before he was a Cardinal he was one of my favorite players. Will "The Thrill" Clark

[@Thegeneralms1]

My all time favorite player. I followed him to the MLB from MS State

[@Autumn.Sun.Eclipse]

Will Clark was my all-time favorite growing up. I wish he would get voted into Cooperstown.

[@WarriorMigs24]

You're right so good

[@CharlesBukowski-m1o]

He's a living legend that will never be forgotten by baseball nonetheless! Sign off, a 1973 guy who grew up in Orioles fan in which for the Nationals.. PS--I always pulled for the Mets against the Cardinals before DC got a team (I grew up 40 miles south of crabtown.) When the Cardinals broke our hearts is National fans in 2012.. in that unprecedented playoff come back in the 9th inning of the deciding game of the playoff series, even I had to objectively look at it as a great moment and don't blame it all on Drew Storen. It took my favorite team 7 years to finally win it all after playoff disappointments, but we needed to learn from the best and we finally became the best. Will Clark retired on arguably the best historic baseball franchise along with the Dodgers and the Yankees

[@michaelrussek154]

Seriously I met Him once. Guy is who he is. He is humble yet on the edge of cocky and confident. He has manners and is truly a good dude. Will Clark is nothing fake. He is who he is and baseball needs more Will Clarks. I hated him in the 80’s beating up on my Cardinals but I respect the hell out of him

[@timothywilliams1359]

One of my favorite players of all time. He was always such a great sportsman and a class act. What fun it would have been to have him as a career Cardinal.

[@wisecracker1814]

Will was the epitome of a player you either loved or hated. For the exact same reasons, depending on whether he played for you or against you. We found that out in StL:) Always intense & ALWAYS that sweet, lefty swing. DAMN you, Will! And Thank you...

[@cedricwilliams1489]

Exactly! I hated in a Giants uniform but loved him in a Cardinal uniform. I wish they could have found him a role with the team so he could have been there a little longer. I found a whole new appreciation for him in that 1 and only season with STL. That 2000 team was a fun team to watch.

[@HundoHands]

A man's man 💯

[@michaelc6126]

This guy did have a SWEETEST swing. He should be in the Baseball HOF.

[@anthonybonino8236]

One of my favorite players of all time. Very intense player, and a great competitor. I wish that he was with the Cardinals longer. Life is about timing and he was about 10 years too late.

[@swnsng]

that stretch of 50 or so games he had he was on fire... 1.081 OPS!

[@KidFresh71]

Glad that St. Louis gave Will "the Thrill" Clark the wonderful end to his career he deserved. Some players just belong in the National League, and Will Clark was one of those players. Props to the Cardinals for always being one of the best organizations in baseball.

[@thebabynurse7161]

Will Clark will always be…FOREVER GIANT!!!!!

[@qman66]

Nah he's an Oriole

[@joedick8779]

@@qman66 Cardinals legend!

[@mikegazanchyan2423]

As a cards fan , he’ll forever be a giants legend. But imop it only took him 51 games that year to become a cardinals legend as well🤙

[@billyhassett2728]

Cardinals were so fortunate to get another legend at the end of his career. He played so hard, loved the game and if The Cardinals had 9 Will Clark’s in the field they’d never lose a game.

[@jeffreycederholm4119]

My favorite player growing up

[@WarriorMigs24]

So good

[@willievickers2452]

I'm from Cleveland. In 1968 my father was in the Air Force and was transferred to Scott Air Force Base. Lived in Belleville, Illinois for 4 years. Lou Brock became my favorite player and the Cardinals my second favorite team after my Tribe. I still love the Cardinals.

[@efrain926]

what an awesome interview

[@MikeNolan]

The Cardinals announcers ask great questions.

[@frankhartmann625]

Will's thrillin' and champagne's chillin'

[@muthergoose4084]

i love listening to these stories.

[@jamesdavison2927]

One of my favorite players ever EVEN WHEN HE WAS A GIANT

[@maximusgarahan2066]

Such a sexy swing. He's the epitome of elevate & celebrate.

[@WarriorMigs24]

So good

[@Iamsiafu]

Hated him as a Giant, only because he was playing against us. Class act all around.

[@mexicanusrex9418]

The "Neuschler' is that look he gave em!

[@Nuschler22]

Nuschler

[@brutusthebulldog515]

Funniest look on his face when he batted. I bet that guy is one hell of a jokester.

[@fixerman54]

Loved Will Clark, especially for St. Louis! Fantastic offense and defense. He always had that scowl too. Almost like he was always constipated! LOL!

[@davidrichardson518]

As a cardinals fan we got Clark , smoltz, Eric Davis , berkman, Larry walker , and more at the end of their careers but still so clutch . Such a treat . Also remember most of the fans bitching about the cardinals not getting anybody all the time

[@framundajohnson2186]

Cards suck!

[@thabeaststl3703]

Great interview....I remember him coming in and blasting a home run against the Expos right away.....he had great stretch with the Cards!!

[@kirkjurgens3137]

Too Funny. I remember Jeffery/One Flap Down...ticked me off. Loved Bob Forsch. Great story.

[@plantfeeder6677]

Give me a team of Will Clark and Robby Thompson type players and I'll build a dynasty

[@WarriorMigs24]

You're right

[@robertjasso6673]

Will is right a great guy and player and his opinions matter.

[@tsav32]

Loved Clark and Edmunds.

[@robertjasso6673]

So glad he wears his Giants pride on his sleeve.. The Thrill is real.

[@damonseibold8141]

Man I didn't like will when he played for giants. But when he came to STL I really appreciated the way he played duh game. What a take charge kind of guy. Old school

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

Jack Clark and Will Clark should have been Giants FOREVER

[@dee4nola]

New Orleans east legend

[@Thegeneralms1]

Hail State

[@dn35243524]

Just added lot of highlights of Will's time in St. Louis kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4rPhIZ-rrChhpI

[@BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAthroggofthunder]

Who are the announcers here?

[@donholl]

Dan McLaughlin (R side of screen) is the p-b-p guy; (former Cards' pitcher) Rick Horton is the "color" guy.

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

love how Clark trashes analytics (Gabe Kapler!)

[@chrisbatten2432]

Big mistake not bringing him back. Take Will over Mark any day!

[@garygarcia4929]

Will Clark is a Giant and he should not have been in that booth for that interview 🤔

[@BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAthroggofthunder]

Hey, I get it. I thought when the Giant’s got Willie McGee, I felt the same. In a short burst Clark got your team to the playoffs, and had an impact felt thru it the next few years…

[@frankhartmann625]

Once you've been to Baseball Heaven there's no reason to go anywhere else-Will Clark ( talking about St Louis after playing for the Cardinals) still want him
