Good morning, baseball fans!
Today is a special day for the San Francisco Giants. They don’t retire a lot of jersey numbers, typically reserving that honor for those players that reach the Hall of Fame. There has only been one exception to that thus far, which was Barry Bonds in 2018. However, today there will be another.
The Giants will retire jersey number 22 today in honor of Will Clark’s tremendous career. Clark had a career worth 56.5 bWAR, spanning 15 seasons, eight of which were with the Giants. In those years, he was an All-Star in five of them and was in the top five vote-getters for MVP four times.
