Richie Ashburn hit .350 in 1958 to win the batting title over Willie Mays. The Phillies sent him a contract with a $2,500 cut in salary for 1959.The Philies GM John Quinn hemmed and hawed and finally came up with an absurd reason: Ashburn didn't hit the ball 'far enough'.

"Well, if I hit them any farther they'd be outs."
-Richie Ashburn

And Bob Ueker on the "Tonight Show":

Carson asked what it was like when Niekro was pitching.

"I always thought it was a 'Catch-22'."
"How's that?" asked Johnny
"It's what I would do to every 100 pitches."

I wonder if that was the unsigned contract that was up for auction in Hunt's last month? There was a signed note with it from Ashburn.
