I was a Barry Bonds, Robb Nen, Bill Mueller guy growing up. I can think of at least 11 hall of famers I'd pick over Clark. I think Clark is probably a top 15/top 20 player for most giant fans (higher or lower for some depending on when they got into baseball) but certainly not top 5 and I highly doubt most people would consider him equal with Mccovey (the man has a cove named after him for goodness sake! Haha).

Clark was the heart and soul of the Giants in 80's Clark is a perfect choice. But I grew up with Clark but seriuos Clark is the man!

Has there been any info on the new MLB radio they are supposedly going to have in this year's game? Anybody know anything about it?

I think the Clark choice is surprising to people mostly because it is pretty easy to name more deserving players. Maybe not as easy as the White Sox choice. But you have McCovey, Cepeda, Marichal, Perry, Mays, not going to count Bonds since he would never be in the game. I have no idea how the licensing works for these historic players, but some of the choices I have to agree are odd and I feel like they couldn't get their top choices for many teams and had to go down the list a bit.

I read through this thread and was surprised to see that no one had pointed out what's shown here (unless I overlooked that). I figured I would post a screenshot in case anyone missed that.

Which part are you taking note of? Just the ritual items in general?

It's a funny little nod. I hope there a few more items to pick from. Like a chicken a la the movie, major league. Or something from Bull Durham.

Yeah.

The first thing I noticed were the words "golden thong".

I got a kick out of that - something that's a common reference to actually wearing a female thong under your baseball pants - and how that was visually represented by a golden thong slipper.

When I rewound the video to pause the screen to see what else was listed/shown, I noticed the others and couldn't believe what I was seeing with "sleeping companion" and "minute man".

The references should be obvious, but appear innocent because they're represented by items that cover the sexual innuendos.

They may not have asked his relatives/kids or they were asking for too much money.
