Sad news hit the baseball world on Saturday as one of the most impactful and successful scouts baseball has ever seen, Roy Clark, passed away at his Atlanta area home last night at the age of 68. Clark's name is attached to many of the best Braves' prospects to come through Atlanta during the last couple decades. Clark is absolutely beloved in the baseball circles for his passion and excellence in scouting and the tributes have been coming in fast.
Clark began his Braves scouting career in 1989 before eventually becoming the director of scouting for the team in 2000, a role he held until 2009.
