Baseball Betting Lines

03/10/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former MLB veteran Tony Clark has been hired by the MLBPA as director of player relations.

A 15-year-veteran who retired during the 2009 season, Clark was a club player representative for the Red Sox and Diamondbacks and spent his last several seasons as an associate player representative.

"It is an honor to welcome Tony to the Association's staff," said MLBPA executive director Michael Weiner. "Tony is as passionate about this union as any player I've known and is highly respected throughout the game. He will be a tremendous asset to the players' cause."

Clark, 37, was drafted by the Tigers in 1990 and made his big league debut late in the 1995 season. He finished third in voting for rookie of the year in 1996 and was an All-Star selection in 2001. Over 1,559 career games, he batted .262 with 251 home runs and 824 RBI.

"I am excited to begin this next chapter of my life by doing my best to ensure that the MLBPA remains a strong and cohesive union," stated Clark. "I am looking forward to developing relationships with all Union members, past and present, learning about the issues important to them, and keeping them informed and up to date on all issues related to the Basic Agreement."

Also on Wednesday, the MLBPA named Steve Fehr as special counsel. For the past 23 years he had held the role as outside counsel to the MLBPA.

In that role, he provides legal advice and support to the labor relations efforts and also participates in the collective bargaining contracts. Also, he takes care of government relations, including any discussions on Capitol Hill.
