* inscription:
Recognizing the historical significance of the Liberty Bell
to Philadelphia and to the nation, the Phillies have often
incorporated the iconic symbol into their team logo and
ballparks throughout the years. The replica Liberty Bell
that stands here is the second and final bell that was
displayed at Veterans Stadium, the Phillies home from
1971 to 2003. Installed on the Vet's catwalk prior to the
1983 season, the steel and aluminum bell weighs more than
5,000 pounds, covers roughly 270 square feet and features
over 300 light bulbs. It remained, high above center field,
for 21 seasons until its removal in preparation for the
stadium's implosion after the 2003 baseball season. The
bell was refurbished and placed here in March of 2019 just
outside Pass and Stow, a name that derives from the two
Philadelphia foundry workers, John Pass and John Stow,
wo re-cast the original Liberty Bell in 1753 and whose
names are inscribed on this important part of history.
