I have 42 Andy Ashby cards. This one is from 1997 Collectors Choice.
Player Profile: Andy Ashby pitched fourteen seasons in the
major leagues, mostly for the Phillies and Padres. He won 98 games, including
17 for the pennant-winning 1998 Padres. A two-time All-Star, he led the NL in
starts in 1995 and shutouts in 1999.
My memories: I think of him more as a Phillie as that’s the
team he came up with, but he actually pitched more and had better success as a
Padre.
Where he is now: Coaching youth baseball.
Google Autocomplete results: He is first when you type Andy
As, ahead of Andy Ashforth, CEO of AP Construction. Another prominent Andy
Ashby is a dentist in Baltimore.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Tucker Ashford.
Yeah, Andy was a good number 2 starter for the Friars, usually behind Andy Benes, Joey Hamilton, or Kevin Brown. Glad to see him getting some love! That '98 Padres team was a great one.
