Baldwin Borough Resident Ryan Clark Is Hero of Ravens-Steelers Game
Clark and Steelers teammate Daniel Sepulveda own homes at the Breckenridge Highlands complex.
It's pretty safe to assume that Ryan Clark, after perhaps his finest game as a Pittsburgh Steeler on Saturday, went home to get some rest. And that home, unknown to many, is right here in the .
According to news tips (and confirmed by the Allegheny County Assessment website), both Clark and teammate Daniel Sepulveda call Baldwin Borough home.
Clark and Sepulveda live on Camarta and Michael drives, respectively, as part of the Breckenridge Highlands complex. Clark lives in The Estates section, while Sepulveda lives in The Village.

Clark and the Steelers came from behind to defeat the Baltimore Ravens, 31-24, on Saturday to advance to this year's AFC championship game. Clark made perhaps the two biggest defensive plays of the Ravens game, forcing a fumble by Ray Rice that led to a turnover and a Steelers touchdown and intercepting a Joe Flacco pass intended for Todd Heap to set up another TD.
Clark finished the game with five tackles, including two for a loss, and was credited with two passes defended. He and the Steelers will face the New York Jets at Heinz Field on Sunday, Jan. 23, at 6:30 p.m.

This will be Clark's second appearance in an AFC championship game, both as a Baldwin resident. He started 14 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2008-09 when they won Super Bowl XLIII. He also started in the AFC title game that season and in the Super Bowl itself.
Clark has owned his home in Baldwin since April 2007. He has been with the Steelers since 2006.
Sepulveda, who bought his Baldwin home in July 2008, has been with the Steelers since 2007.
He has not been as lucky as Clark postseason-wise. Sepulveda missed the Steelers' 2008-09 Super Bowl season due to an injury and suffered a season-ending injury again this season after appearing in the team's first 12 games.
