Tom Clarkson HOF
Clarkson notched three highly-productive seasons in Tucson with the Wildcats Baseball program and posted a career batting average of .410 with 103 runs scored and 97 RBI. His 1957 batting average mark of .434 stands as the fifth-best single season mark in Arizona's wooden bat era (1950-1992); the performance also earned him a First-Team All-America nod from the American Baseball Coaches Association. After concluding his collegiate career, Clarkson spent one season in the Chicago Cubs minor league system before ending his career to complete a tour of duty with the United State Army.
