Anthony Christopher Clark is a former Major League Baseball first baseman. He is currently the executive director of the MLB Players Association.

“To simplify things down to their real essence, whenever things go wrong in our lives, whenever our plans go awry and the things we took for granted suddenly disappear, we have a very simple choice. We can either succumb to despair and assume the attitude of the put upon the victim, powerless to change our fate, or we can decide to turn the tragedy into an opportunity.”- Tony Clark
