My Take
Tony Clark earns my respect more for his second act than his playing days. A first baseman from 1995 to 2009 is a solid career, but stepping up to lead the players' union from 2013 to 2026 is something else entirely. He traded the bat for the bargaining table and spent over a decade protecting the livelihoods of fellow athletes. What I find compelling is the rare combination: a man who actually played the game now defending the people who still do, armed with credibility no outside negotiator could match. That kind of player-first leadership is exactly the sort of integrity I trust.
