About the Item

Of course it's possible that these baseball players aren't from a Philadelphia team, but I doubt it. There was so much drama and intrigue with both the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Athletics that Bendiner could hardly have kept away! The Athletics left in 1955 so probably these are Phillies players, whether warming up or in a game is hard to say. We made the pair. From 1957 to 1961 the number 43 was assigned to the Philadelphia Phillies player (and winning pitcher), Turk Farrell (1934-1977). The story of the two Philadelphia baseball teams, the Phillies and the Philadelphia Athletics, is filled with some highs and many lows. The word "futility' shows up from time to time. The 7 x 6 inch dimensions refer to the size of a single sheet. For reference they are shown here, together, in a 16 x 20 inch mat. They are individually authenticated by the artist's wife, Betty Bendiner, in pencil.
