After retiring from baseball in the 1960's, center fielder Richie Ashburn worked in the broadcast booth for the Phillies. From 1971 till his death in 1997, the popular Ashburn worked along side now-HOF broadcaster Harry Kalas. In addition to doing color analysis, at which he excelled, Ashburn often had to do the pregame show. I recently heard Kalas tell this story about his late dear friend. Once the two were sitting in a bar in Manhattan when a blonde hooker came up to them and said, "Boys, for $100, I'll do anything you want." Ashburn thought for a while, then said, "How about the pregame show?"
Pitchers and catchers on Valentine's Day. Lovely.
