He was the first Jewish umpire in American League history, and probably the first to eject his own father from the officialsOCO dressing room. But whatever Clark was doingOCoofficiating at Nolan RyanOCOs three hundredth win, Cal RipkenOCOs record breaker, or the OC earthquakeOCO World Series of 1989, or braving a labor dispute, an anti-Semitic tirade by a Cy Young Award winner, or a legal imbroglioOCoit makes for a good story.
