“So, do you know how I think about things when I have free time?” Kruk asked the game man, Tom McCarthy. “So, I was wondering. The person who invented the clock, the first clock of all time. How did this person know what time it was?”
McCarthy said it was a “very good question” when Alec Bohm reached the first basis on an error in the second base player at the bottom of the fourth round. McCarthy then guessed that the person who created the clock could have used a sundial to calculate the time it was.
“Is it correct, however?” Asked Kruk.

The former first goal player said that he had no answer for his own question and thought he would ask McCarthy in case he has the answer.
The clock inventor is quite difficult to identify. Ancient civilizations have developed the first devices to maintain chronology. The first solar dials and water clocks were determined to have been used in 1200 BC by the ancient Egyptians and the Babylonians. Several inventors have helped to develop the clock further, as most people turned to digital devices on analog.

Kruk is definitely to continue asking global questions in the midst of baseball matches. He wants to find another brain so that fans guess.
