DVD Reviews of Richie Ashburn: A Baseball Life
DVD Review: Whiz Kidz Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I became a Phillies fan in 1950. Have stuck with them thru thick and thin, mostly thin, since. Richie was one of my first sports heroes. The DVD was excellent. I never knew much about his personal life...Harry Kalas was at his best. Great item for all sports fans. Harry Acker VA Beach.
Description of Richie Ashburn: A Baseball Life
Richie Ashburn is arguably the most beloved figure in the long and storied history of Philadelphia sports. He thrilled fans for over a decade with his exploits on the baseball diamond then spent the rest of his life entertaining generations of Phillies fans from the broadcast booth. His Midwestern with and dry sense of humor seemed to be in sharp contrast with the gritty atmosphere of East Coast baseball but "Whitey" won over this tough town with his straightforward approach and playful charm. RICHIE ASHBURN: A Baseball Life chronicles an amazing journey that takes us from his humble beginnings in Nebraska all the way to his enshrinement in the halls of baseball immortality at Cooperstown New York. It's a story told by his family and friends teammates and colleagues and by Richie himself in the form of interviews broadcasts and rare Ashburn home movies. It's all lovingly narrated by his best friend and broadcast partner fellow Hall-of-Famer Harry Kalas.BONUS FEATURES: 1950s Home Movie Footage in Color * Excerpts from Ashburn's Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony * Excerpts from Jersey Retirement Ceremony * (3) 10-minute "Whitey" featurettes * 3 Eulogies from his FuneralSystem Requirements:Running Time: 90 minutes + Bonus MaterialsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?SPORTS/GAMES/BASEBALL UPC:?829567050521 Manufacturer No:?670505General DVDs
