Naturally, Clark made a roar as he returned to the field of play, as after he pulled away from its rare catch.
“What a god!” said one of the track and field announcers as Clark played miraculously. “I’ve heard the list. I’ve seen the list of the biggest catches you’ve ever tried to see in your life. If there’s no room for this on your list, we’re looking at two different sports.”

Clark was forced to hit the Jets into the field in the middle left as Jorge Mateo rocked the ball towards the wall. Clark never slowed his steps as he reached out to catch him, and he paid the price as he slammed onto the fence to finish the innings. This play also kept A’s lead 4-3.
For Clark, the game at Anaheim on Monday night was 16th in track and field as it began its season in Triple A.
