[@sjrocker2003]

the voice of summer in Ocean City NJ growing up a Phillies fan in the 70s and 80s, the games are not the same and the stories were awesome

Its apoint of history, and i simply enjoyed it. Mostly because I was born in Philadelphia.

Richie Ashburn was known as being very "frugal." He claims his greatest catch was when he was at bat. First pitch was a bit outside but called a strike. Second pitch was further outside, but called a strike. Third pitch was even further outside but called strike three! Richie said he was so angry he threw his bat in the air as high as he could. The umpire said, Richie, if that bat hits the ground you're fined $100. His greatest catch.

Richie was a great guy but does not belong in the Hall of Fame. The same with Phil Rizzuto.
