Home to both the Philadelphia Athletics and Phillies, Shibe Park, originally named after the A’s owner Ben Shibe back in 1908, and later called Connie Mack Stadium after the HOFer, is now only a memory. More than 30 years have passed since the last Major League ball game was played there. A momentous piece of the stadium, filled with history, is now available as a constant reminder of one of the game's historic shrines. The turnstile has its original paint with red and a creamy yellow color on the turning mechanism and a dark green paint on the bottom section of the pole and base. It used to stand at the entrance to the stadium and is 41” tall and 41” across from the ends of the arms. This turnstile has seen countless Philadelphia fans pass through it. The pedal at foot level allows you to release the brake, permitting free rotation. In full working order, the overall condition is EX.
