Will Clark homered in his first MLB AB. Who was the pitcher?

Nolan Ryan.

I bet Will stood 8 feet from the plate against Ryan the rest of his career.

1. San Francisco is retiring Clark's number this year

Nice honor for Clark but IMO his San Francisco numbers don't warrant it.

2. FWIW, I've been a Giants fan since I was a kid

and lived in the SF Bay Area when Clark played there. Although I didn't follow baseball much at that time in my life, the word I always heard was that aside from his playing, he was known for being quite an asshole in the clubhouse. Don't know if it's true, but I heard it a lot. Actaully heard about many of the players not getting along that well back then.

3. We were at Candlestick Park the day the Giants beat the Cubs for the NL Pennant.

Will was a major part of that.

4. Gee, Thanks For The Sad Memory!

Just kidding.
I always thought Clark was a solid player.
