Giant Phillies Cap Worn By William Penn Statue Being Auctioned On EBay

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The giant Phillies cap that adorned the William Penn statue for the 1993 World Series can be yours. It’s being auctioned on eBay.

The city rallied around Billy Penn atop City Hall as he wore the red, seven-foot tall Phillies cap for the ’93 World Series. You remember how that ended.

A year or so later, memorabilia dealer Glen Spence says one of his guys saw the hat in the trash behind Veterans Stadium.

“One of them gave me a call and said, ‘I think it’s the large Billy Penn hat,” Spence says.
