Ginger Clark

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harvey Daniel "Ginger" Clark (March 7, 1879 - May 10, 1943) was a Major League Baseball pitcher for a very brief time during the 1902 season. The right-hander was born in Wooster, Ohio.

This "one-game wonder" played for the Cleveland Bronchos on August 11, 1902. He earned a win by pitching the last six innings of a 17-11 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Though he gave up four earned runs, Clark shined by going 2-for-4 at the plate (.500), scoring two runs, and fielding three chances without an error (1.000). This all took place in front of the home crowd at League Park.

Famous teammates of his on the American League club included Hall of Famers Addie Joss and Nap Lajoie.

Clark passed away at the age of 64 in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
