Debut Pos : OF Ht Wt B T : R YRS G AB R H HR RBI SB BA Richie Ashburn biography on Baseball Almanac for complete statistics. The leader of the 1950 Whiz Kids, Richie Ashburn was considered one of baseball's greatest leadoff hitters. From 1948 to 1959, he was at the top of the order for the Phillies. He finished his career with a .308 average, fueled by nine seasons in which he hit .300 or better. In 15 years, he collected 2,574 hits and was the league batting champ in 1955 (.338) and 1958 (.350). He led the league in hits three times with a career high of 221 in 1951. His career included stops with the Phillies (1948-59), Cubs (1960-61) and Mets (1962). As a defensive player, he established baseball records for leading the league nine times in chances, four seasons of 500 or more putouts and nine seasons of 400 or more putouts. His defensive skills rose to the top in the final game of the 1950 season. Ashburn grabbed a single from the Dodgers' Duke Snider and threw out Cal Abrams at home. Had the run scored, the Phillies would have faced a playoff for the pennant. Instead, Dick Sisler hit a home-run in the 10th to break the tie and give the Phillies the win.

About La Salle Academics Admissions Athletics ... University Communications August 8, 2005 Print this page Winning La Salle History Prize Will Come in Handy for Margaret Walsh, Who Plans to Volunteer at Hospitals in Baltimore, and Haiti Margaret Walsh recently graduated from La Salle University’s School of Nursing and plans to spend the next year volunteering at hospitals in Baltimore and Haiti. Fortunately for the Richboro resident, she won a history contest at the University, and with it, a $2,500 prize. A lifelong baseball fan, Walsh wrote a paper on Philadelphia Phillies Hall of Fame outfielder Richie Ashburn, and won the Leo Prize, a competition set up by La Salle alumnus John McHale, ‘49. Entrants write a 6,000-word essay on a topic about local history. The money will be spent to support her while she is a volunteer. Most of the time she’ll be living in a rectory in Baltimore operated by the Sisters of Mercy. Walsh was in La Salle’s Honors program, and graduated with a 3.63 GPA. With the Leo Prize, she found a way to combine two of her favorite topics: history and baseball. “I was a history minor, and I grew up listening to the Phillies on the radio, and I just loved Richie Ashburn,” said Walsh. “I was fascinated by him, why he appealed to three generations of fans.”
