#21T - Bryan Clark


What a card: Bryan Clark signed with the Indians as a free agent on April 15, 1985, a couple of weeks after being released by the Blue Jays.

How'd that go: Clark appeared in 31 games for Cleveland in 1985, but his ERA of 6.32 was even worse than the 5.91 with the Blue Jays the year before and he was released after the season. This is his last Topps card.


Backatya: I'm really trying not to sound old-fashioned here, but I've never heard of a male hygienist. I came across a fairly recent article that said the number of men working as dental hygienists is slowly increasing. But I imagine it had to be pretty rare back in the 1970s when Clark was in college.





Back-to-back: Clark's original Topps card is No. 489. It was blogged on Jan. 8, 2016. Clark was apparently caught talking on his Traded card, which is also probably how his most memorable Topps card   came to be.

The blog wants to speak now: The Pop Culture tab is updated.
