Pic of the Day - Ashburn Alley
Filed Under Pic of the Day | Comments Off
During the Phillies/Mets rain delay on Sunday I watched Dan Stephenson’s Tribute to Richie Ashburn. Stephenson has been the Phillies team video producer for decades and he’s a real gem. He isn’t the best cameraman but he is the hardest worker you’ll find and his close relartionship with the team allows him to tell a story like no other producer can. He’s on the inside and he is absolutely intimate with his material.
As an 17-year veteran of sports production in Philadelphia, I can tell you from personal experience that Dan Stephenson is one of the most respected storytellers in all of sports. Ken Burns has nothing on this guy.
If you love a great story -ANY great story - don’t miss Richie Ashburn: A Baseball Life
I took this picture in Ashburn Alley at Citizens Bank Park during the opening week of the 2008 baseball season.
