On April 8, 1986, 34 years ago to the date, Will Clark made his major league debut with the Giants.
And it was a debut Clark and everyone else involved won't forget.
Clark's first career at-bat is the stuff of legends.
With the Giants facing the Astros in Houston, Clark had to face Nolan Ryan, one of the most intimidating pitchers in baseball history.
Instead of easing Clark in by putting him at the bottom of the lineup, Giants manager Roger Craig batted the rookie second, guaranteeing a first-inning at-bat.
Rather than striking out against "The Ryan Express," Clark crushed his first career homer in his first at-bat.
