Default Reflections on 30 years of the Philly Show
At one Philly Seashore show, I had a nice conversation with Richie Ashburn. While he was signing this photo for me, I asked him if his 3.0 seconds to 1st
base was the fastest of any player in the Leagues ?

He said...."No, Mickey Mantle (batting lefty) and I were clocked by the sports media at the start of each season, and we were tied at 3.0 seconds, year
after year."

Then we talked BB trivia for about 20 minutes. Richie was one of the greatest guys to talk with.
