[@MALattin]

Been a life-long Braves fan since the age of 8 in 1980 but Jack Clark is among probably my top 10 favorite non-Brave players of all-time. He could hit some bombs.

[@josephhale9198]

Loved the fireworks at old busch and Jack Buck!!

[@keithwhitney7491]

While a STL Cardinals fan for almost 70 years (I will not count years prior to age 5), I was away from the STL area most of my working life (two years as far away as Japan), so I sometimes forget those players I saw less frequently. I remember well the 1964 team, largely because it was the first World Series championship team since 1946 and I was just beginning college, close to my final realization that I would never be quite good enough to play professionally. All the time between that championship and number 11 in 2011 (as well as beyond, sometimes to even better teams that just didn’t have the October magic) I have always followed STL, many years traveling from L.A. to watch a game; always attending at least a couple of games in L.A. THANKS, REDBIRDS, for a marvelous journey! Thanks to this site I was reminded of Jack Clark’s own magic. :)

[@justingardner4658]

43 yr old lifelong Cards fan since 5 yrs old. He's still is and always will be my favorite Cardinal power hitter ever!!! 87' he was MVP n missed month cost us WS as well. Somethings you never get over , 87' is one of them.

[@paleo704]

Yeah don’t recall the specifics but for some reason he wasn’t on the team during the World Series.....also Ozzie claimed the Metrodome turned up the AC when the cards batted and down when the Twins did which prevented home runs

[@dn35243524]

@@paleo704 he tore up his ankle trying to avoid a tag in Montreal. Bugs me to this day

[@joeleicht5764]

In the 80s, Cardinal fans were so hungry for a feared power hitter, despite the Card's great pitching, speed and defense. When Clark came over from Frisco, he was like a canteen of cool water in the middle of the desert. We did not feel worthy of him.

[@warchild5885]

80's were great 2 in 80

[@warchild5885]

[@christansdad]

What I always loved about Jack Clark was that his timing mechanism was his back leg, not his front leg. He had a twitch with his back leg that started his swing. Back foot points back behind the home plate umpire. Pitch on the way...start swing by twitching back leg and turning foot and to be perpendicular to home plate.

[@floridaoceancurrents]

I grew up watching him play at Candlestick in the 70s and early 80s. He was always my favorite Giant. People forget that he also had a cannon for an arm.

[@BAYAREA-kd1ig]

From what I recall as a kid Clark was not well liked in SF at times. I've heard that he had a Cannon as well.

[@interioravenue]

Even as a Dodger fan, he was my favorite childhood player. Imitated that swing always playing wiggle ball. Good memories.

[@MarkRoberts-bj2me]

For a Redbird fan it don't get any better than Jack's call of a Clark homer with Whitey in the dugout. Those were golden years in the long, proud tradition of Cardinal baseball.

[@colbs237]

The St. Louis Cardinals are a terrific baseball club. I went to Busch stadium (I am a Northern California Giants fan) when right hander Dan Haren had his 1st start. Walking in to the stadium I saw the statue of Stan Musial. Holy cow I thought. I had on a Bonds jersey. Cardinal fans talked with me during BP about the Giants and especially my travel to St. Louis. They were ultra classy, buying me hot dogs and beers. I bought the next round :) I was forever impressed by the Redbird fans, stadium, and of course their players. And then downtown around the park, the restaurants with the Cardinal memorabilia, I was blown away. And then our tilts in the NLCS in recent years. I was fearful of the Cardinals, and still can't believe we rose up in 2012 to get past a 3-1 deficit. All of that, plus the matchups we had in the Will Clark & Ozzie Smith days. The pitching the Cardinals always have...John Tudor, Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Andujar, Tewksbury. Wow, what a club :) I respect you guys, bro!

[@paleo704]

colby phelps great post

[@sashek8451]

I feel luck it was during my childhood here in STL. It was such a wholesome thing for everyone to rally around. They all seemed larger than life to us kiddos yet like family

[@dzanier]

no roids. just incredible strength. his swing was big too. from the heels. as much as you didn't want him to extend his arms, his bat speed was so good that if you pitched him inside, it had to very in and very fast. he walked a lot too. very productive player.

[@antonioacevedo5200]

If you'd never heard of the guy and knew a little bit about baseball, by his stance you could see that he could hit.

[@terrondt]

Jack Clark the quickest bat i ever seen

[@terrondt]

Clark would have been one if the all time great homerun hitters but injuries really cramped his style

[@paleo704]

How do you know he didn’t do steroids ?

[@chucklowery2314]

I watched him take batting practice before a game. It echoed like a cannon when he got a hold of one. Never heard that sound from any other player.

[@shellcrackerlover5889]

I remember my dad and grandpa taking me to a Cincinnati/Cards game in the mid 80s, we were Reds fans. I was enamored with Jack Clark that day, he stood out above all other talent on the field!

[@justingardner4658]

The thing that made him special is old Busch was hardest park to homer in and he hit BOMBS!!!!! No doubters!! One off Bruce Ruffin in Philly was unreal.

[@djm.326]

Excellent point. These guys today have lighter bats, shorter wall distances...uhhh shorter wall heights period. Don't get me wrong, its still the greatest game in my book....but that was real baseball back then. Nothing on the field came cheap.

[@xsandy4417]

Mets and Cardinals “80s rivalry was the best!

[@sashek8451]

haha I still remember people here in STL wearing Mets are Pond Scum tshirts 😂

[@kevinpayton2664]

My cousin and I played a lot of baseball for fun growing up. He would emulate Jack's batting stance with the back leg movement.

[@kevinpayton2664]

The numbers he could've put up if he had a healthy 1987 season.

[@NPRMc]

Just pure power, barely a leg kick, all core.

[@warden291]

I don't think I ever saw him hit a cheap home run. Every home run looked like he got all of it!

[@terrondt]

Jack Clark was a tape measure shot bruiser. In his prime he had one of the strongest and quickest bat ever

[@11aaf]

Jack Clark is the hardest hitter I've ever seen. I was hoping to see the linedrive home run that hit a secondary wall and rolled, literally, all the way back to 2nd base... I'm pretty sure it was against the N.Y. Mets (I might be wrong). The whole event only took about 5 seconds.

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

Giants fan here. Caught a Clark foul ball at Cabdletick as a 14 year old. Still have it. #22 Jack Clark God Bless. Im happy he got to play on a winning team with pros but upset he was traded om the first place. Would have loved to see Jack Clark and Will Clark on the same team !!

[@chrisf5007]

One game at Candlestick, around 1978, I was sitting in the box seats right behind the plate. Clark fouled a ball that got to my seat, so quickly, I didn't even have a chance to catch it with my glove (and I was a pretty good fielder too). I still have that ball today!

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

@@chrisf5007 I think I got mine Summer '77. The ball hit off a window or concrete facing of the mezzanine. Two weeks before on TV I had seen a kid use a fishing net to snare a ball and so I bought one. The ball landed on the concrete walkway between the box and reserve seats. I threw my net over it and 4 or 5 kids jumped on me trying to wrestle the ball out of the net. After a short time they gave up and the ball was still in the net. Those 70's Giants teams were more watchable than the current roster! And they had pitching.

[@chrisf5007]

@@user-jv9qz2bu1r I think MLB baseball in general was just more watchable in the 1970's. In 1978, I had just graduated from Galileo High School, so I had time and some money to attend games. That year, the Giants led the NL West almost all season, only to lose the lead to the Dodgers in September. I attended 62 of 81 home games that season. - my favorite pitchers were John Montefusco, Ed Halicki, Gary Lavelle, and of course, Vida Blue (RIP). I always arrived 2 hours before game time and hung out down in the RF bullpen area. great place for catching BP foul balls, especially when Darrell Evans or Willie McCovey took BP. -- I've been living in the Tampa area for the last 40 years, so I'm a Rays fan now, but those Giants from the 1970's and 1980's are who I grew up with, and at 64 years of age, I will never forget those years. Take Care!

[@davejenn6051]

Clarks home run trot is STUDLY !!!!

[@classic-kool]

He loved to rub it in ....🤣

[@colbs237]

Good ol' Jack the Ripper :) Man he was scary!

[@jsd795]

Jack the Ripper. No roids, no juiced ball(except 87), no little league parks and pitchers that could actually pitch as opposed to mostly just throwers.

[@turtleflegel6816]

Jack the Ripper. No one hit the ball as hard. It wasn't the length of his home runs it was how fast they left the park. His homers were no doubters right off the bat.

[@Mark-sj3xb]

He would be topping the charts with Exit Velocity nowadays.

[@JunkYardCardGuy]

Probably THE most underrated player in MLB history. Scary power hitter, who could lead the league in walks, and wouldn't strike out much...you simply DID NOT eant to see a bat in his hands in a late-game situation. Beast.

[@shrapnel77]

Clark struck out a lot later in his career. He K'd over 130 times for 4 seasons. Earlier in his career, he probably took a more conservative approach.

[@dougbrowne9890]

Clark is certainly not underrated. He was just one dimensional. If he were not, there would have been clips of him doing something other than hitting HR. And he only had three seasons with more walks than K's. I think Frank Howard is far more underrated than Clark.

[@chrisf5007]

I didn't see any HR's in this video as a SF Giant,...but as a Giant fan from the 1970's, I can attest he hit a bunch for them too!

[@Shinobi33]

Very unique batting stance for a right handed hitter

[@bravedave90]

[@kevinpayton2664]

I thought that he was going to re-sign with St. Louis after 1987 since he was a free agent, but it wasn't the case. I was crushed when he went to New York.

[@paleo704]

And for some reason he didn’t play in the 87 World Series

I was the Phillies/Cards game in 1987 for Clark's monster HR at 6:20. I never heard the call of the homer until now, and I always remember the crack of the bat, just has the announcers mentioned.

[@cards1985]

I was at the Cardinals Phillies game in 1987 at 6:58. Clark hit two bombs but the Phillies won 4-3.

Clark was a rich man's version of Dave Kingman. Both hit prodigious, tape measure HRs. Both struck out a lot, and looked terrifying doing so. But Clark was a superior overall hitter. But those long HRs.………!

[@gonedeep43]

Kingman played 2 years less than Clark and hit 0ver a hundred more homeruns. Kingman hit 48 homeruns in a season compared to 37 by Clark. I believe Clark was the Poor man's version of Kingman.

Lasorda was the leagues all time 'potty' mouth, heard him cuss words , that I never heard and I worked on railroad. After Clark's HR off Nedinfur of Dodgers, in top 9th in NLCS, to send Cards to WS, Lasorda probably said, @#$%&@%&$* why oh why didn't I walk the SOB??? Then lost his breakfast, lunch, supper and any snacks too. Lol Nice upload, thanks.

[@alcidesrios7222]

In the Nintendo game RBI Baseball just bunt with Coleman and the 2nd batter and then homer with Clark

[@vinceroady7918]

The Ripper. If there ever was a more apt nickname for a batter... I don't know one.

[@balrog322]

My two cents on Jack the Ripper-I was a resident for some years of the city he grew up in & took the train with a commuter who played Little League against, and was beaned in the head, by Clark as a 12 year old. He suffers visual impairment & chronic headaches to this day, and his memory is Clark yelling insults and obscenities while blood poured from his opponent’s fractured skull.

[@11aaf]

A lot of 12 year olds do dumb things. Maybe, if Clark was reminded of the incident, he would visit him and say that he's sorry... never know. I know, I'm not the same person I was when I was a 12 yr. old. Thanks for the story, though, because it's an important part of Jack Clark's history.

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

I grew up in San Carlos and heard stories about young Barry Bonds also! Sorry to hear about this Clark story - wonder why he felt provoked to bean that kid.

[@seasmoke7408]

Jack was robbed of the MVP !!!

I agree. Dawson was on a last placed cub team.

[@johnfitzpatrick3094]

If Clark had not gotten injured, he would have won the MVP.

[@kevinpayton2664]

[@mikeshoe74]

tough to deny Dawson's 49hrs 137rbis....plus Dawson had one coming to him finishing 2nd two other times before. Also it's tough winning MVPs when there's a teammate of equal value involved (Ozzie Smith)

Hey St. Louis Clark was a Giant long before he was a Cardinal. He had plenty of long bombs for us too.

The “Ripper” didn’t get cheated at the plate. No one swung harder, no one hit the ball harder, and so very often. He would rope the ball 3-4 times a game.

[@crimsontide1980]

Wish they had a way to track launch angle and exit velocity back then. I swear some of his bombs look like they are traveling faster than most the 110+ bombs from Ohtani and Alonso

[@johnmcgee6297]

You’ve not included any of the Ripper’s great Giants highlights - so fail

[@BlazingShackles]

The problem with Jack Clark was he didn't hit at all during April and May. Usually mid to late June he'd hit a spirt of HRs and finish the season with 27. Hit a lot of MONSTER foul balls all year long though.

True, this was back in the day when your homerun hitters were your homerun hitters. Clark, Schimdt, Kingman, Reggie Jackson etc.. Plus the shots were majestic. Maybe the old stadiums had that look. The upper decks were reached by the big boys.
