He was 70. The team said he died of a heart attack. Police were called to the Grand Hyatt Hotel at 5:30 a.m., and Ashburn was dead when they arrived, department spokesman Officer Kevin Tyrell said. Ashburn, a center fielder who played for the Phillies from 1948-59, was a broadcaster for the team for the last 35 years and worked Monday night's Phillies-Mets game.

I don't see how he can possible make it." - Richie Ashburn B aseball Almanac is pleased to present an unprecedented collection of baseball related quotations spoken by Richie Ashburn and about Richie Ashburn. Richie Ashburn Quotations From Richie Ashburn "After fifteen years of facing them (pitchers) you don't really get over them. They're devious. They're the only players in the game allowed to cheat. They throw illegal pitches and they sneak foreign substances on the ball. They can inflict pain whenever they wish. And, they're the only ones on the diamond who have high ground. That's symbolic. You know what they tell you in a war - 'take the high ground first.'" "I'm flattered that so many baseball people think I'm a Hall of Famer. But what's hard to believe is how one-hundred and fifty plus people have changed their minds about me since I became eligible, because I haven't had a base hit since then." "I wish I'd known early what I had to learn late."
