The Story of the Autograph
Mark Clark is a former right-handed starting pitcher in the major leagues. He played for ten seasons from 1991 to 2000 with the St. Louis Cardinals, Cleveland Indians, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, and Texas Rangers.
Clark was born and raised in Bath, Illinois. He attended Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, Illinois and then was drafted by the Cardinals in the ninth round of the 1988 MLB Draft. He made his major league debut on September 6, 1991.
Clark mostly stuggled in his time with the cardinals and then was moved to the Indians in the first of three trades in his career. That trade brought back Mark Whiten to the Indians. He had a great 1994 in Cleveland and put up an 11-3 record with a 3.82 ERA and then a 9-7 record the next year, although his ERA went up by two runs.
He was traded to the Mets and had a good season and a half in New York before they moved him as a player to be named later in a deal with Lance Johnson to get back Brian McRae, Mel Rojas and Turk Wendell. He made his only post season with the Cubs, pitching one game that was a loss to John Smoltz and the Braves.
He went on to play for the Rangers before retiring.
The Score on Mark Clark – 7.0
Mark has a pretty tight signature and it came out really well on these cards. As a Mets fan I’d really like to find a card of him as a Met, but in order to complete all the teams he represented I need a Cubs card too. I think my favorite of this bunch is either the 1992 Fleer Ultra or the 1993 Upper Deck.
Thanks Mr. Clark! I’m giving this return a 7.
