Proud of his family’s history, SROA Capital’s CEO and great-great grandson of Ben Shibe, Benjamin Macfarland III was quoted in the article about the Philadelphia baseball legend along with the memorability left behind.
“I’ve still got a lot of stuff my dad left me,” he said. “I have the trophy the A’s got for winning the 1929 pennant. I’ve got Herbert Hoover’s signature on a 1931 World Series program, from the day when he got booed out of the stadium. I’ve got stuff from when the Shibes helped pay for the All-Star team to go to Japan in 1934.”
