Jack Clark Stats

Jack Clark was one of the most respected sluggers of his era, collecting 20-or-more home runs across 11 of his 18 seasons (1978-80, 1982-83, 1985, 1987-91). During that span (1978-91), The Ripper hit 320 homers, sixth most in the majors, behind Dale Murphy (394 HRs), Mike Schmidt (379 HRs), Eddie Murray (371 HRs), Andre Dawson (358 HRs) & Dave Winfield (330 HRs).

When Jack Clark won his second Silver Slugger Award in 1987, he broke the team-record for most Silver Sluggers won by a St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, eclipsing one-time recipient Keith Kernandez (1980), and George Hendrick (1981). Twenty-one years later, a Giant first baseman finally tied The Ripper, winning his second in 2008, then broke the mark a year later when he won his third - do you remember who it was? [ Answer ]

Did you know that when Jack Clark walked to first base, a National League leading 132 two times in 1989, he set a still unbroken San Diego Padres single season record for most bases on balls, breaking the mark set previously by Gene Tenace , who had 125 bases on balls in 1977?
