RE: Zeprock Collection
Richie Ashburn was one of the original "Whiz Kids" with the Phillies. He was a six-time All-star who led the NL in Batting twice and Stolen Bases once. One of the most beloved sports figures in Philadelphia history, Richie also spent time with the Cubs and the expansion New York Mets becoming their first batter in franchise history as well as their first All-star representative. Did you know that during a game in 1957, he hit a foul ball that struck the wife of a Philadelphia sports editor and broke her nose? When play resumed he hit another foul ball that hit her again as she was being carried off on a stretcher. The two would go on to maintain a friendship for many years. I currently have 98 Beckett recognized cards of Richie including these nine.
