[edit] Biographical Information
In high school, Tony Clark earned All-American honors in baseball and basketball. He once held records for career and single-season points for San Diego-area high school basketball; his new single-season mark broke the previous one held by Bill Walton. Clark also played basketball in college.
He holds the all-time record for the most time zones with a home run. He is the only player with six, having homered in Puerto Rico in 2003, and Japan in 2004, after earlier homering in the main four USA zones.
He missed 102 games in 2000 because of injuries to his rib cage and lower back. In only 60 at-bats in June, 2000, he hit .350 with 8 home runs and 21 RBI.
