  1. Remember that brawl like it was yesterday. Since that series we have pretty much got even with the Cardinals eliminating them last 3 appearances against them in playoffs

  2. Maldonado hit the mfā€™ing jungle out of Ozzie. He turned Caucasian after that haymaker lmao

  3. I remember watching this as a kid live on TV. I'll NEVER forget seeing Candy flying thru the screen šŸ˜‚

  4. Clark flies past the bag at Mach II. So yeah, he deserved a little static thrown his way. And actually, Smith didnā€™t jump in until Clark rose up – canā€™t blame him for that as anyone here would have done the same.

    The Candy flying haymaker was pretty cool though lol

  5. So, based on the comments on here – All 130lbs Ozzie Smith jumping in instantly to throw a few punches = cheap. Candy Maldonado flying in like Jimmy Snuka while Ozzie is unexpectedly turned = heroic.

    Either way, Clark deserved to get smacked for that slide. That much is true. Glad he wore the jersey though in the end.

  6. Ozzie was giving Clark some behind the back haymakers. Candy Maldonado came from behind his back. and gave Ozzie the BIGGEST haymaker. LOL/Karma.

  7. Ironically Clark played his final season with the Red birds and became a great player with them down the stretch

  8. 80s and 90s had some great players with exciting players
    where did it all go wrong
