Horace Clarke, a 2B for 10 MLB seasons, almost exclusively with the Yankees, died on 85 at age 81.

Clarke had the misfortune of playing for the Yankees when they basically sucked, never being part of a team that made the postseason. Born in the Virgin Islands, he played in The Show from 1965-74, with his only other team being the Padres, where he appeared in the final 42 games of his MLB career.
