There are no baseball games right now, but that hasn't stopped Gabe Kapler and the rest of his Giants coaching staff from collaborating.
Kapler and Co. are communicating through video calls on Zoom, and a Giants legend recently joined them. Will Clark hopped on one of the meetings with Kapler and team personnel last week, the manager told the San Francisco Chronicle's John Shea.
“He just killed it," Kapler said to Shea.

Clark even answered a question about his famous slide in 1988 that caused a massive brawl with the Giants and St. Louis Cardinals.
The always-entertaining Clark mostly explained what made him a successful player over his 15-year career. He was a six-time All-Star and made five straight Midsummer Classics with the Giants from 1988 to '92.
San Francisco was set to retire Clark's No. 22 jersey this season before baseball came to a crashing halt due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. One thing is for certain, though. Kapler wants to use Clark as an asset with his coaches and players going forward.

"It was an excellent learn not just on Will Clark's baseball acumen but also his communication style," Kapler told Shea. "You talk about somebody I'd bet on making an impact on this coaching staff and into the future with the San Francisco Giants, it's probably Will Clark."

Clark spent the first eight years of his big league career in San Francisco, and told NBC Sports Bay Area's Amy Gutierrez last August that he always wanted to be a Giant for life. Clark hit 176 of his 284 career home runs with the Giants, and Kapler also is particularly interested in how the first baseman stayed successful later into his career.
Between the Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles and Cardinals, Clark hit .313 and averaged 17 home runs over the final four years of his career. While the Giants still are going through a rebuild, there's plenty of knowledge Clark can hand down to both younger players and veterans.
