It's a quarter past Rudy York. That's what one may deduce upon reading the compelling face of this electric clock by Telecron that features the facsimile signatures of the entire 1938 Detroit Tigers team where the numbers would normally be. The signatures include Cochrane, Gehringer, Fox, Walker, White and many others, including Hank Greenberg, who was the runaway MVP that season. We have never seen this before and presume that it was given to Mickey by the team when he was let go as manager. It is not in working order but with some TLC from a professional clock repairman, this one should tick once more. It is in VG condition. The 1938 Tigers finished 84-70, good for fourth place in the American League.
