It must have taken one bulova man to perform this feat, but I think we've given ebbet enough clues

[KCGHOST]

Roll Tide!

[RuthMayBond]

Roll Tide!Would you like some carvel topping on that? I'm shattered that no one has guessed ;)

[JohnGelnarFan]

First Night Game?

[RuthMayBond]

First Night Game?I thought we were obvious enough :( This feat was so amazing, you'd think the guy that did it would have won a red Ford, or something. It was like something that would only happen in a movie. Maybe even like a calvin and Hobbs cartoon

Roy Hobbs smashed the crystal of his watch in Brooklyn, Alabama.

What did that signify? I'm sure I must have seen "The Natural" but I don't remember.

:lookitup The only other thing that comes to mind is when Bama Rowell hit a 2 run double off of the Bulova clock at Ebbetts Field in the second game of a doubleheader between the Braves and Dodgers. It exploded,showering glass on Dixie Walker.This happened at 4:25 P.M. and the clock stopped an hour later,at 5:25 P.M.
Thanks for challenging me!! :)

That happend just i don't know when.

[Bob Hannah]

I read Bulova would give a watch to Rowell for the feat and it took the company decades to do so.

[JohnGelnarFan]

That did happen on May 30,1946. I found it on baseballlibrary.com

[Bob Hannah]

I found this (http://thegloryofbaseball.blogspot.com/2005/06/real-life-roy-hobbs.html). Other articles came up when googled.

[ArealBASEBALLfan]

True that was what really happened

[JohnGelnarFan]

Good find. Great picture of the scoreboard and clock. That site has a link to the Gabe Kapler Foundation!

[wamby]

You do have the date for yourself, right?

It's more of an estimate, but he was three years and four months old at that time.
