Known for his impressive power and clutch hitting, Jack Clark is a former professional baseball right fielder and first baseman who played in the Major League Baseball (MLB) for 18 seasons, from 1975 to 1992.

Clark began his major league career with the San Francisco Giants in 1975 as a right fielder and the youngest player on the team at the age of 19.

In 1985, Clark was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals, where he switched to first base to reduce the risk of injury. His three-run home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the 1985 NLCS was the pennant-clinching hit, securing a spot in the World Series for the Cardinals.
