Nate,
Neat Petralli jersey! You probably already know this already, but this jersey was used in September 1993 after the passing of Eddie Chiles.

Back in August/Sept pick up thread I posted the clock I aquired that was given to Phil Niekro in 1969 by the Braves 400 Club for being their pitcher of the year(re-posted photos below). Well I decided to contact the Braves 400 Club to see if they had any info on the presentation. They were able to send me a picture of Niekro recieving the clock at what they call their Gameboree. Also said that the reason they gave him a clock was that he was "accused of taking naps between innings and the alarm clock is supposed to wake him up in time for the next inning."

Hi Jonathan,
Just curious the clock pictured seems to have the sweep or small hand where the clock you have doesnt. Also the names on the dials top and bottom look to also be a little different. Is that the case?

Hi Al. The small hand is broken off, when you open up the front glass door in person you can see where it snapped off. The bottom name in the photo I took is darker in person.

Thanks! Correct you are! Don't see many '93's out there with both patches.
