Richie Ashburn History
Very first class informative history of Richie Ashburn.Was a fan growing up and found this book very helpful to answer questions and complete information that I often wondered about.
Richie Ashburn Remembered
I grew up as a fan of Richie on the field and through his announcing games for the Phillies I was able to keep following him over the years until the day he died. This is a wonderful book and a fine tribute to him as a player and a man. To me he was one of a kind and this book does him justice. I thought I'd seen every photo of him but there were several surprises in the book. I enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who's interested in Richie-lots of great memories.
Good if your a Phillies fan
I was a bit taken back on the format once this came.Its very short, only about 100 pages of real material, and has very large font.Otherwise, it was a good book about Whitey.
Richie Ashburn Remembered
I just finished reading this lovely tribute to Richie Ashburn. I can remember him so well. My Pop used to listen to the Phillies on the radio before there was tv. So I grew up with the Phillies and he was one of the best and most endearing characters ever. Fran did a great job of capturing his great character and personality. He was truly one of a kind. Good job Fran!
