I grew up in Philadelphia, and listened to Ashburn and Harry Kalas all my 
ife
for Phillies games.  I've never heard one w/o 'em, I think.  That'll be
depressing next time I go to listen to one in Philly.  :(
My fav Richie Ashburn story is this (true story)...
Richie was up at bat, and hit a foul ball and hit a woman in the stands.  
After
a time to check her out, she had to be carried out on a stretcher.  When she
got moving, play resumed.  Guess what?  While they were carrying her out on 
the
stretcher, he hit her AGAIN with another foul ball!
It's actually a fairly well known story if you grew up in Philly.
