Book Reviews of Richie Ashburn Remembered
Book Review: A Beloved Member of the Philadelphia Phillies' Family
Summary: 4 Stars
Here's a trivia quiz for you: Which major league baseball player had the most hits during the decade of the 1950s? Mays, Mantle, or Aaron? The answer is Richie Ashburn. This book is not a formal biography of his life, but rather a tribute to the man who was so much of the Philadelphia Phillies' franchise. The book is divided into five sections: his passing, the ballplayer, the broadcaster, the hall of famer, and the family man. Several photographs complement the book, and emphasis is placed on Richie in each of these roles. A fan of the Phillies would especially appreciate this book having become familiar with him as part of the Phillies' announcing team. For those of us who remember Richie's playing career while following the fortunes of another team (the Tigers for me) this book will give us a greater appreciation of his life.Book Review: Richie Ashburn Remembered

I was recently the greatful recipient of the above mentioned book. This is the 3rd book I have read by author Fran Zimniuch. His (past) books answer many of the questions you ponder. Like what ever happened to ???? Fran gives it all to you. This latest book is a wonderful tribute to Richie Ashburn and you can tell that the author truely loves the sport of baseball. It is more than a story to him. Way to go Fran and keep them coming......Now what ever happened to Bobby Rydell, Don Cannon and the rest of the oldies...Book Review: Richie Ashburn Remembered
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Book Review: 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.Book Review: Good if your a Phillies fan
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
