Description: (3) HARLOND CLIFT INDEX CARD SIGNED 1934-45 BROWNS SENS PSA/DNA CERT 1912-1992Harlond Benton "Darkie" Clift (August 12, 1912 – April 27, 1992) was a (MLB) 3RD BASEMAN for the ST LOUIS BROWNS (1934–1943) and the WASH SENATORS (1943–1945). He was an ALL-STAR for the AL in 1937. In the 1937 season, he set single-season records of 50 double plays and 405 assists that stood until 1971. Clift was traded to the Washington Senators in 1943. A serious case of the MUMPS and a horse-riding injury hampered Clift's play late in his career. In 12 seasons, Clift played in 1,582 games, and had 1,558 hits in 5,730 at bats for a .272 BA. Clift was one of the first power-hitting third basemen, posting his offensive numbers at a time when players at that position were more valued for their fielding. However, Clift was also regarded as a superb fielder. Clift's nickname, "Darkie", has what BILL JAMES referred to as "a rather unpleasant derviation": One of his Browns teammates, ALAN STRANGE, misheard Clift's first name and thought that it was HARLEM, a predominantly black area in New York
