Biography
Edwin (Ed) Clarke was inducted into the Builder Category of the Slo-Pitch National Hall of Fame in 2013. Ed, who lives in Blaketown, Newfoundland, is the former Newfoundland Provincial Coordinator, who retired from his position in 2009.
Ed played and coached his slo-pitch team for 26 years, and was involved with organizing the provincial SPN program for 20 years before retiring. His men’s team the Hitmen, were National Finalists twice in the Mens B category, and provincial champions on several occasions. When asked about what his best memories were, Ed replied, win or lose, our boys always had a great time!
Ed is a very quiet guy, but you won’t ever meet a more popular man at a ball tournament, as he knows everyone, and has often been referred to as the “Godfather” within the province of Newfoundland when it came to slo-pitch.
Congratulations on your induction into the 2013 Slo-Pitch National Hall of Fame.
