Jack Clark played 18 years in the major Leagues with the Giants, Cardinals, Yankees, Padres and Red Sox. The four-time all-star first baseman/outfielder won the National League Silver Slugger Award in 1985 and 1987 and is second all time with 18 extra-inning home runs. He was a member of the 1985 National League Champion Cardinals. He currently is a post-game show analyst on Fox Sports Midwest and 101 ESPN Radio
Al Hrabosky is in his 26th year as the color commentator on Cardinals telecasts.

He pitched 13 seasons in the major leagues in which he compiled 97 saves and earned Fireman of the Year honors in 1975. Hrabosky was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in February 2003.
