Item Description
Donald Richard "Richie" Ashburn
(March 19, 1927 – September 9, 1997)
A fleet-footed baseball player that used his athletic gifts to get on base and chase down fly balls on the field, then a broadcaster that used his oratory skills to become a much-beloved voice off the field, Richie Ashburn would become a fixture on the Philadelphia sports scene for a half century.
Also known by the nicknames, "Putt-Putt", "The Tilden Flash", and "Whitey" due to his light-blond hair, was an American center fielder in Major League Baseball.
From his youth on a farm, he grew up to become a professional outfielder and veteran broadcaster for the Philadelphia Phillies and one of the most beloved sports figures in Philadelphia history.
He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1995.
