Clark is the official team mascot of Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs. He was announced on January 13, 2014 as the first official mascot in the modern history of the Cubs franchise. He was introduced that day at the Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center's pediatric developmental center along with some of the Cubs' top prospects such as number one draft pick Kris Bryant and Albert Almora, Jorge Soler, Mike Olt and Eric Jokisch. Over a dozen Cubs prospects were attending the Cubs' Rookie Development Program that week. The Cubs become the 27th team in Major League Baseball to have a mascot, leaving the Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees as the remaining franchises without mascots. According to the Cubs' press release, Clark is a response to fan demands (expressed via surveys and interviews) for more kid-friendly elements at Wrigley Field Cubs games to keep pace with games in other cities that have more to offer youth fans.
He is a "young, friendly Cub" who will wear a backwards baseball cap and greet fans entering Wrigley Field, which is located at the corner of Clark Street (for which he is named) and Addison Street. North Clark Street borders the third base side of Wrigley Field. According to the Cubs, the fictional character Clark is descended from Joa, the franchise's original live Bears mascot in 1916.

I'm far away from home right now
My family I miss somehow
Mom, dad, Cheyenne and words from my brother
We care so much about each other
I'm happy to be a part of this
Without them I could not exist
I tell them, man I must be blessed
In what I do I give my best
I saw my father in a submarine
He's a hero in the movie screen
Next generation, living my dream
Together supreme, a super team
My family, they back me up
Some people wanna try to set me up
Empty words, what's real? what's true?
So I just tell them
There's no need to please me
I was born as an actor with a cool
And my dad, he's a troop
Supporting everything I do
Feel this, I won't move
Cause my family is true
Yes my mom, she's a mom
Supporting everything I do
Cause my family is true
Yes, my family thank you
I read the line, performed the song
And daddy came, to my dad and mom
Straight from the heart, I really care
If there's a problem my family's there
Berlin, London and Brazil
Yeah I traveled the world, there's much to learn
I'm working hard on my big dreams
I know for sure that I will rock the scene
I held protectors, a part of me
I'm glad to have my family
Sometimes it's crazy, sometimes wild
But we always treat each other right
My family, they back me up
Some people wanna try to set me up
Empty words, what's real? what's true?
So I just tell them
There's no need to please me
I was born as an actor with a cool
And my dad, he's a troop
Supporting everything I do
Feel this, I won't move
Cause my family is true
Yes my mom, she's a mom
Supporting everything I do
Cause my family is true
Yes, my family thank you
Yeah, I dedicate this song to my family
Thanks for always being there for me
Thanks for helping me in hard times
Thanks for all your support and back up
Thank you for the way you raised me
Thank you for always letting me do
What I wanna do, I appreciate it
And I won't forget it, this song's for you
There's no need to please me
I was born as an actor with a cool
And my dad, he's a troop
Supporting everything I do
Feel this, I won't move
Cause my family is true
Yes my mom, she's a mom
Supporting everything I do
Cause my family is true
