As one of the “Whiz Kids” who won Philadelphia their first pennant since 1915, Richie Ashburn was the model of hitting perfection. Always good for an average above the .300 mark, Ashburn was revered by Phillies fans for not just his bat but also for his highlight-reel performances in center field and his selfless dedication to his team. To this day the Phillies award the “Richie Ashburn Special Achievement Award” to "a member of the organization who has demonstrated loyalty, dedication and passion for the game." Ashburn’s 1952-1959 Hillerich & Bradsby G7 model bat shows heavy game use and is un-cracked. The barrel shows many ball marks with some checking from repeated ball contact present. Bat rack paint streaks are in evidence and the model number “G7” is stamped into the knob. This bat comes with a LOA from MEARS (316306) for the game use and has been graded a solid A8.
