In a more perfect world, all baseball games would reach a conclusion similar to Wednesday’s game at Candlestick Park. Bases loaded, two out, full count, best hitter against best pitcher, crowd on its feet clapping, sun shining.
Certainly in Will Clark’s dream world, they would all end like this. He looks for a curveball, gets a curveball, drills it into the right-field corner to score three runs for an 8-7 victory — his fifth, sixth, and seventh RBIs of the game.
