Nice ovation for Clark

One of the cool things about Opening Day is that both teams are introduced. Everyone. Not just the starters. Each lines up down the base lines for their introduction.

It was good to see Brady Clark get a warm reception from the crowd. The Brewers recently traded Clark to the Dodgers for relief pitcher Elmer Dessens.

And why shouldn't he be greeted with a friendly hello?

Clark was always a gamer for the Brewers. His best season came in 2005, when he hit .306 with 31 doubles and 94 runs scored. His numbers took a dip last year, he lost his leadoff spot and eventually the centerfield job when the Brewers shifted Bill Hall from third to center. That made him expendable.
