Thanks to Daily News Live producer, Dan Roche, host Rob Ellis, and the rest of the DNL crew for having me on DNL yesterday to talk about Whitey and the book. You can watch the appearance here:
This has been a really good week. The book came out about a week and a half ago, and we’ve already sold-out the first printing. The books will be at Citizens Bank Park for this home stand, so if you’re at the park, check the Phillies book stands located around the ballpark. This Thurs July 7th, I’ll be on Comcast Daily News Live between 5:30 & 6:00PM promoting the book, and embarrassing future generations of my family. I’m also going to be on WHAT 1340 AM Thurs around 6:45PM. I’ve always been told I have a great face for radio…..you be the judge!! AND FINALLY….This Saturday July 9th @ 9PM….Sam’s Saloon 105 So. MacDade Blvd Glenolden. Show up at Sam’s, buy a book, and I’ll buy your first drink. We’ll toast Whitey, sing High Hopes, and just have FUN !!…….see you there….jim
Next Saturday July 9th, will be the official launch party of my new book ” Richie Ashburn…Why The Hall Not? “. In the past, I’ve found book signings to be boring, and more than a little pretentious…….NOT THIS ONE!!!!! Stop by Sam’s Saloon at 105 So. MacDade Blvd in Glenolden.(610-534-8300)next Sat 7/9 at 9PM. If you buy a book, I’ll sign it for you, then I’ll buy your first drink. My good friend Tony Baselice, will be stunning the crowd with his vocal skills, and I will come out of musical retirement to embarrass myself, and future generations of my family!!…..It’ll be great !! So dust off your dancin’ shoes and let’s have some fun!! If you think your group will need a table, call Deby at Sam’s 610-534-8300…..
