I don’t know where the vitriol against Clark came from, or why anyone felt the need to rail against poor Clark, but I met the embattled mascot today at the 2014 Cubs Convention and I found him in person to be exactly what I thought he would be: sweet and harmless. And geared towards little kids. That’s what Clark was created for- young children. He’s not for you! He’s for them.
Clark and I had a “bro-hug” and I observed Clark interacting with fans and children for awhile. Watch the videos of Clark and enjoy the picture.
For all those who demonized and criticized Clark, as you can see here he’s sweet and harmless pic.twitter.com/ohS0DFsrKX
