Tony Clark's New Job

Tony's going to the MLBPA:

"Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director Michael Weiner today announced that former 15-year Major League veteran Tony Clark has been hired by the MLBPA as director of player relations. In this newly-created position, Tony will oversee the Union’s expanded efforts in the areas of membership
communications and education. Tony also will play a major role in future rounds of collective bargaining."

(Oops, almost forgot a link :http://baseballmusings.com/?p=4799)

Seems like a great role for him. As much as we may have been frustrated by his play last season, I've never heard anyone say a bad word about his character, intelligence, or love for the game.

Your thoughts?

Good for him

Though I would have liked to have seen him come back in some sort of coaching role, like you said- the annoyance with him was all on the field. Outside the lines, he seems like a great guy.

Always expected TC to stay in Baseball

after his playing days were over. Good to see him get a position in which he should do well.

Hasn't he

always been a union rep for whatever team for which he was playing?

I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".

Can’t quote me on this but I think you’re right, ’Skins
