About Clark »

A lifelong Kansas City Royals fan and old enough to remember when they were actually good - actually old enough to remember a time before they became good! I cover the Royals with Craig Brown on a daily basis at our site: Royals Authority (http://royalsauthority.com).

As if the pain of following the Royals was not enough, the winter months add the duty of writing about the Nebraska Cornhusker basketball program for HuskerHoopsCentral (http://www.huskerhoopscentral.com).

Contrary to what the above might indicate, I also enjoy an ACTUAL life with a wife and three kids and even a real job.

My heart is with the Big 12, but the SEC is better.

Hi Clark,

I have been writing articles on the MLB 9s and I thought you might be interested in reading my Royals' piece.

Any feedback or comments would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.

Hi Clark,

I've finally published my findings from the survey I conducted of FCs around the league on the state of the Indians.

Take a look...

With each big name that is leaked to steroid use, America's most hated player is slowly becoming its most trusted. The biggest names in baseball are falling subject to steroid use.

Hey Clark,

I'm a Featured Columnist for the Indians here on Bleacher, and I'm polling the FCs from other MLB teams for an upcoming article on what went wrong with the 2009 Indians from an outsider's perspective.

Your participation in a brief survey for the article would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the link to the survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=p4Jy36cR9EVjHdFTZl1I3A_3d_3d

The deadline for the survey is Sunday August 2.

I look forward to reading your opinions!

Thanks!

Hey Clark,

I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks

Hey Clark,

People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
