50. Donnie Baseball and Will the Thrill
Don Mattingly’s back problems took away his power after four great seasons and robbed him of his Hall of Fame ticket, but he was a legitimate #1 for a couple of years. In 1987 Jack Clark played only 131 games, but drew 136 walks and hit 35 homers. The Cardinal offense that year was Jack Clark and seven leadoff men—and it worked. No one else on the team hit more than 12 home runs, and only one player (Ozzie Smith) hit .300, but the Cardinals were second in the league in runs scored and won 95 games:

Will Clark’s story is similar to Mattingly’s; he was a truly great player for a few years, but was stopped by injuries. I think the most serious problem was bone chips in the elbow. . .damaged the elbows, and he was never quite the same player afterward.

Whereas Mattingly’s injuries clearly did cost him a Hall of Fame career, I kind of think that Will Clark may have done enough, before the injuries, that he should be elected. We’ll leave that argument for another time. Another point about Clark was that he may have had the greatest last two months of his career in baseball history. He closed his career with a 51-game stint for the Cardinals in which he hit .345 with a 1.081 OPS. Even David Ortiz didn’t play THAT well the last two months of his career. Clark was only 36 when he retired. I always thought that he quit because he was competing with players who were taking steroids and HGH and drugs that didn’t even have a name, and he didn’t want to take the drugs he would have to take to stay ahead of those guys.
51. May 27, 1968
You probably know, I am guessing, that the two 1994 Most Valuable Players, Frank Thomas and Jeff Bagwell, were born on the same day. They have similar profiles as hitters—right-handed first basemen with tremendous numbers of walks, high averages and power. Bagwell was much faster than Thomas; frankly many of you are much faster than Frank Thomas. Thomas was the greater player the first half of his career, probably Bagwell was the second half.

Mark McGwire was 3 ½ years older than Bagwell and Thomas, but McGwire finally got healthy and had his fantastic three-year run after they had had their MVP seasons. He hit 193 homers in three seasons. 1999-2000 is the high water mark of the steroid era, before their use was widely condemned. Mark McGwire hit 65 homers and drove in 147 runs in 1999, and ranks as the #3 first baseman of the season. Mike Sweeney drove in 144 runs, and ranks 10th. The numbers from that era are just crazy.
52. Grew Into Anabolic Monster By Injection
The phrase above isn’t mine. I used to do this thing, trying to figure out what player’s names stood for. The one above was invented by one of Rob Neyer’s friends.
