Since Will Clark never took steroids

and considering his accomplishments as a pro in the middle of the steroid era; should he be considered for the Hall of Fame? I say yes.

And I loved it when he was with the Cardinals for that short period of time, but his numbers just very borderline HOF worthy. He only got 4% of the vote in 2006, and that actually gets you off of the ballot, I believe. (I think you have to get at least 5% to stay on the ballot)

284 Home runs, 1205 RBI's, a .303 career batting average, and 2100 career hits. His batting average is his best arguement for making the HOF, but the only way I see him getting in is if the Veteran's committee puts him in. Which is actually a possibility.

He also only had one gold glove, and the only major award that he won was the 1989 NLCS MVP.

the planet than Will Clark. I loved him at State and followed him his entire career. Met the guy on numerous occasions and he was an complete *******.

That being said, I agree with Todd, I would love to see him in the HOF and I am biased because of him playing for State but his numbers don't make a great case for the HOF.

My opinion is if you have to ask then they don't belong

I have always thought one thing Will didn't get enough credit for was defense..The guy was slick, I still don't know if I have seen a firstbaseman to this day who can pick a ball or sweep a tag like Will.

Because I do agree with you- he was one of the best defensive first basemen I have ever seen.

But Rafael Palmeiro actually has more Gold Gloves than Clark.

I looked at the guys who were beating him out- It was people like Keith Hernandez, Mark Grace, Don Mattingly, JT Snow- some very worthy players, but Clark should have gotten more Gold Gloves.
