Notes

With the closing a Veterans Stadium in 2003 the Phillies donated a number of items to the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame. At that time a number of larger items were housed by The Fence Authority (TFA) in West Chester, PA, including these two bullpen benches. In 2021 TFA donated materials and workers' time to completely restore both benches. One bench is at TFA's West Chester location the other is on display at the Hall of Fame's Museum Preview Gallery at Spike's Trophies in Northeast Philadelphia
