  • With College Baseball being a niche sport especially in the 1980s, things changed when Rafael Palmeiro and Will Clark made their way to Mississippi State and brought the sport into the mainstream with the help of the new channel called ESPN. The duo became known as thunder and lightning and helped Mississippi State make it to the College World Series in 1985, though they would lose in the semis to Miami. Clark and Palmeiro would go on to have great MLB careers, but off field issues involving the two and Palmeiro's steroid use led to conflict.

    7:53 BARRY❕
    I just got # 11’s auto last week
    Stoked on it too
    I really dig how much more obtainable players certified autos are now with Panini/Donruss , Topps & Bowman , etc all doing their thing with some great auto’s out there .
    I had just got OJ Simpson’s auto
    A 5/5 just before Christmas time
    so about 6mo b4 he passed away
    Kind of a trip
    Glad I got that before hand
    That’s 1 of My favs
    OJ, Yogi Berra’s probably My fav
    Juan Soto 1/1
    Barry Larkin , Pete Rose , Aiden Hutchinson, Penei Sewell , Marshall Faulk
    Those are My favorites
    I still need Barry Sanders ,
    Bo Jackson , Ricky Henderson ,
    Ken Griffey Jr autos
    I do have Jr & Ricky & Barry’s top rookie cards
    @ least their Top 5 of each
    Barry’s Score, Ricky’s Topps,
    Griff’s UD 1
    Still enjoyable to Me
    The nostalgia of collecting keeps Me hyped on it and wanting to get the cards I had as a kid and now I want them all over again
    But now I’m really only into the autos or else old school vintage
    I really like 70’s & earlier cards

    He had a real nice career
    especially his time with the REDS

    sad clark ended up being a cornball. baseball is so goofy only sport that keeps out players from getting their credit because they took a steriod one time lmao. people need to learn how roids work and know they dont turn you into some type of super human lmao.

      I wonder why the Olympics banned steroids since 1968 and even stripped some athletes of their medals over the following decades when found tested positive. I guess baseball isnt the only goofy sport.

      A cornball?!
      A guy has a fantastic career on nothing but his genuine, natural, god given talent and the other has to take PEDs including steroids and then gets CAUGHT lying about it. People need to know how athletes like THAT work. (One time my ass!) Speaking of, looks like your definition of cornball is ass-backwards!😝🤣
