The man with the sweetest swing in baseball was nicknamed Will the Thrill for good reason and a Hall of Fame-bound career stalled just short of Cooperstown when injuries prompted an early retirement for the lifetime .303 hitter (with 284 homers and 1203 RBI). This classic game-worn jersey hails from the clubs historic 1989 season probably Clarks finest as a major leaguer when the Giants won the National League West clubbed the Cubbies in five games in the NLCS and then unceremoniously fell to their cross-Bay rivals the Oakland As in a World Series disrupted by a horrific earthquake. The first baseman swatted a career-high .333 in that amazing season adding 23 home runs and 111 RBI numbers that would bring him a second-place finish for the NL Most Valuable Player Award to his teammate Kevin Mitchell. The shirt is blazing white with Giants in black and orange tackle twill the same scheme used for his No. 22 on the back and his name across the shoulders which is affixed to a white nameplate. Black orange and white elastic trim accents the sleeves and the embroidered Rawlings script appears on the right sleeve. Rawlings tagging (Size 44) is on the inside of the tail with team strip tag with embroidered 1989 22 just below. The great Clark has added a brisk blue Sharpie autograph to the front below the Giants lettering. The shirt shows moderate wear and comes problem-free without alteration. For his part Clark fell quickly off the Hall of Fame balloting in 2006 after receiving barely less than the minimum 5 percent which says a lot more about the inadequacy of the Halls voting procedures than it does about The Thrill.
