A half-century later, the story of the No. 1 overall draft pick remains a cautionary tale instead of a reflection on a career that had seemed destined to be filled with lots of wins and strikeouts.Clyde was just 18, only a few weeks out of high school and that draft in 1973, when he got thrust into the majors by the original Texas Rangers owner desperate to generate interest — and, most importantly, ticket sales — for the financially strapped team that had moved from Washington the previous season.“The biggest thing, and I think baseball has learned from it, is let’s not do that again,” Clyde said Tuesday, the 50th anniversary of his debut. “Out of my career, I would hope that they learned that let’s not rush talent, let’s develop it. Let’s look to the future, not just today.”While fans filled the stadium when he pitched that f...
