Will "The Thrill" Clark



I'm writing this as I am also watching the 30 for 30 special on ESPN on Will Clark and Palmiero when they were in college playing for Mississippi state.

I thought I would share my thoughts on Mr. Clark.

I hate him. I always have and I always will. As a Braves fan, I think he batted a perfect 1.000 against us. Always getting a hit. Especially if the game was on the line. And if we had the lead, hell, he'd start the rally. This guy was the consummate pain in the ass for a Braves fan. He'd first and third you to death all day. I hate him.

But, I also love him. I wish he would have played for my team. Just appeared to me to be a true professional. Always showed up to play. Left it all on the field. You may have been playing as hard as Will Clark, but you're not playing harder.

He would have looked good in a Braves uniform.

Any way just thought I'd share a thought on one of the ballplayers I watched growing up. Don't follow the game as much anymore. Players change teams like they change socks any more. Can't keep up with it. But I have a lot of angst/love for the play of Will "The Thrill." He would have made $20/yr these days.

I'm not even going to bring up Chris Speier.
