Biographical Information

"To fill the vacancy caused by the poor work of Sebring, Brooklyn claimed Clement, formerly of Jersey City. He is a fairly good player but he hasn't any throwing arm." - Sporting Life, June 26, 1909

Wally Clement played in the majors for parts of two seasons. He spent most of his professional career with the Jersey City Skeeters.

Wally attended Tufts between 1902-1905 but was already playing for the Skeeters, to the tune of 74 games, by 1902. Staying in Jersey, he came to the majors in August 1908 with the Philadelphia Phillies, an above-.500 team. He appeared in only three games in 1909 before being selected off waivers in June by the Brooklyn Superbas, a team which would lose 100 games. Wally became a regular outfielder in the borough, hitting .259/.296/.306 in 92 games and 340 at bats. In 1910, Clement went back to Jersey City, and then spent two years with the Troy Trojans. He is one of four major leaguers (through 2019) with the last name Clement.
