Kruk, who is the color commentator for NBC Sports Philadelphia, wondered about the creator of the clock.

"So, you know how I think of things when I have free time?" Kruk asked play-by-play man Tom McCarthy. "So, I was wondering. The person who invented the clock, the first clock ever. How did that person know what time it was?"

McCarthy said that was a "really good question" as Alec Bohm reached first base on an error from the second baseman in the bottom of the fourth inning. McCarthy then guessed that the person who created the clock might have used a sundial to calculate what time it was.

 "Is that accurate, though?" Kruk asked.

The former first baseman said he had no answer for his own question and thought he would ask McCarthy in case he had the answer.
