Jack Clark accuses Verlander, Pujols of steroid use

[Senser81]

Jack Clark was like an ominious yet impotent presence as a player. I always remember him as being injured and in the dugout, yet Scully and Garagiola would make it seem like at any moment Clark could just step onto the field and bash a HR. Probably the 2nd greatest MLB player who never played, right behind John Tudor.

I love these Senser sports posts outside of the NFL/NCAA forum. I imagine him discovering girls or something in 1987, and not having time for anything but football after that.

I used to watch a lot of baseball as a kid, and religiously followed the This Week in Baseball show. Don't really watch baseball at all anymore.

Yeah, when I was a kid the only way to follow what was going on outside your own market was the NBC Game of the Week, and TWIB. Or ABC Monday Night Baseball if you go back that far, I was a little young for that but vaguely remember watching with my old man.

TWIB was great, because you'd be like "oh, so that's how the Royals came back from down four in the 8th on Thursday...man, Willie Wilson can fly!"

Sometimes TV Guide would say "TBA" for the NBC Game of the Week. I remember nervously waiting for the game to come on, hoping for the Reds. It was like Christmas when that graphic would pop up and it would be Reds vs Dodgers or something.

On this day, young W2B popped a boner:

The Dodgers seemed to always be the Game of the Week team. They were such a strange team...great pitching, good hitting, but absolutely brutal in the field. Guys like Mike Marshall and Pedro Guerrero were like DHs playing the in the field. Mariano Duncan was incredibly bad at SS.
