Beautiful 1980 Philadelphia Phillies World Series ring awarded to former National League President Charles ''Chub'' Feeney. Led by Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton, the 1980 Phillies broke a 97 year old title drought, beating the Kansas City Royals in 6 games en route to their first ever World Series title. Awarded a World Series ring was National League President Charles ''Chub'' Feeney, who presided as President during a lengthy period of stability during which the league neither expanded nor relocated a franchise. Manufactured by L.G. Balfour Company, 10kt gold ring features the Philadelphia Phillies ''P'' encrusted in 7 diamonds upon a red ruby center, with ''Philadelphia Phillies / World Champions'' written to the perimeter of the face. Feeney's name and title along with a relief of the Phillies' home ballpark, Veterans Stadium, are featured to left shank, with a relief of the World Series trophy and ''1980'' written to right shank. Ring measures 0.75'' in diameter. Near fine. With an LOA from Charles Feeney's son.
