Was this the guy who was supposed to have hit 8 hr in a minor league game circa 1902?

Yeah, June 15, 1902 he hit 8 homeruns in a Texas League game. Personally, I've known this fact for years now. Soxrock 21:35, 26 September 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Interesting fellow

I say this because Nig Clarke has ties to now three historical events. This guy is indeed very interesting. I'll add some images later on, btw SoxrockEdit list/Talk

I'm from Amherstburg ,Ont. Learning alot about his history.........He started baseball at Assumption College in Windsor Ont. in 1897. He developed arm strength by throwing rocks at chickens. He was 1 quarter native indian, hense the nickname "nig"

There is alot more, but I will save it for the residents of Amherstburg............what a gem!
