Unsourced material

I removed the following from the article because it is not sourced has some other problems with it.

"Clark is known for his outspoken ways. In 1991 he accused future Hall of Fame outfielder Tony Gwynn of being "selfish", later hanging a small effigy of Gwynn in the visitor's dugout at Shea Stadium. More recently,Clark vilified Mark McGwire in the wake of his steroids admission:

• "If his hand-eye coordination was so good, why did he feel the need to apologize to the Maris family?"

• "It's a shame that he thinks we're all stupid, that he only did [steroids] because of injuries. That's such a cop-out, such a lie. These guys did [steroids] to take the money to pump up their egos and then take their consequences down the road."

• Steroid abusers and suspected users "are all lucky they didn't end up in jail. It's all comical to a certain point. It's a three-ring circus. It really is. From [commissioner] Bud Selig to Tony [La Russa] to A-Rod to Manny Ramirez to Palmeiro ... What a joke."

• "[McGwire's] own manager never knew that [Jose] Canseco and McGwire and anybody else ever had taken steroids? Trust me, from [a former player], I have a lot of insight into who did what and when but I'm not even going to talk about it. It really doesn't matter."

• "This thing stretches a long way back and it's really ugly and just really shocking."

• "These guys are playing the game for their own benefits and it's really disgusting. ... They go up there and shed a tear and they think all is forgotten. Well, it's not forgotten and it never will be."

• "[McGwire is] a sad excuse for a player in the industry of baseball. Just seeing him in uniform makes me throw up."

• "He should not be in baseball. He should be banned from baseball more than ever."

Jack Clark's family still lives in New Brighton and other parts of Western Pennsylvania. I am his second cousin. LaceyBates (talk) 00:03, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

According to this article, Clark and Slaten are contractors and can only be asked not to return. Pho Kadat (talk) 17:12, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
