He did it again. After securing an American League MVP Award in 1982 at shortstop Milwaukee Brewers legend Robin Yount scored a second A.L. MVP award seven years later albeit playing at a different position this timepatrolling center field. Having switched over to the outfield in 1985 Yount not only handled the daily duties of center field but he mastered the position in '89 with yet another stellar season in the record books. His .984 fielding percentage spoke volumes but it's what he did at the plate that really caught people's attention. Playing in 160 regular season games he batted .318 with 21 home runs 103 runs batted in and 25 doubles for good measure. In a relatively close vote Yount edged Texas Rangers' slugger Ruben Sierra and third-place finisher Cal Ripken Jr.This lot features Yount's 1989 Milwaukee Brewers “Most Valuable Player” Award Clock which was presented to him following the season at the team’s “Diamond Dinner” festivities in January. The clock which showsinternational times is encased inside an impressive wooden shadow box measuring11” wide by 14” high. It includes a gold plaque that reads: “Robin Yount Milwaukee Brewers ‘Most Valuable Player’ Diamond Dinner January 15 1989.” The only thing wrong is that the plaque should have read “1990” following the ’89 campaign. Other than that it’s a beautiful international clock ready for hanging on some lucky bidder’s wall.Includes LOA from Robin Yount.
