Describe a player and guess who it is thread

[Cedrique]

Wow. I only know this guy because didn't he accused Pujols of PED use? Otherwise, I don't know much about him

I don't remember that. I guess maybe Clark was a coach with the Cardinals or something?

 

[Cedrique]

1987 was pretty impressive though. That whole team hit 94 HRs and he had 35 of them

 

[Omar 382]

• Held the major league record for assists by an outfielder (375) from 1900-1924
• Had his best season in 1888 when he led the NL in home runs, hits, doubles, total bases, and slugging percentage
• Punched a reporter (at least) two times
• He finished with a .306/.374/.444 with a 119 wRC+

He accused Pujols of using roids on a radio show. They argued back and forth and Pujols filed a defamation suit against Clark. Clark later apologized and the suit was dropped. Ckarks radio show was cancelled after 7 weeks on the air. Clark was not afraid to speak his mind and he also had negative things to say about Tony Gwnn and the Padres while he was with them and after he left as well.

 

[Omar 382]

Not

 

[Omar 382]

Yeah I like how Clark only retracted his statement and apologized after Pujols' camp threatened to sue his broke, washed-up ass

 

[Cedrique]

Oh yeah now I kind of remember it. He needs to develop another talk show, this time with Curt Schilling and Pete Rose

LOL! Rose could then lay odds on who would get sued first!

According to the info you provide there seems to be a misleading problem. BEST year in 1888, Then lead
the league in outfield assists from 1900 to 1924. That would be a 36 year career at least!

No, he passed the record in 1900, and it stood until 1924. He retired in 1903

Please, explain, as a good and loyal irish catholic, naked before your savior, how your powers led you to the name, Jimmy Ryan. I assume you have not memorized the Baseball Encyclopedia.
