1986 Topps Traded. It was given to me by my father's best friend in the summer of 1987 after one of my little league baseball games (ironically enough, I played for the Royals, who originally drafted Clark). Will signed it in 2009 when I played in his charity golf tournament in Louisiana.
The same guy was nice enough to take my father and I to my first baseball game in 1988 along with his high school baseball team: Cardinals vs. Giants at Busch Stadium on July 21, 1988 (3 days before the epic Clark/Oquendo fight and the invention of the "Flying Maldonado"). I was yelling "Will" as loud as I could as he was walking back to the dugout after batting practice, and luckily he spotted me. He signed the picture at Busch Stadium in 2000 when he played for the Cards.
