Today's Birthday Wish to a Philadelphia Pro Athlete

I want to send an early birthday wish to Andy Ashby. July 11th marks Ashby's 43rd birthday. Ashby was signed as an amateur free agent in 1986 by the Phillies. He made his professional debut on June 10th, 1991 against the Cincinnati Reds, allowing five runs on four hits while striking out four and walking three in four innings. Ashby took the loss as the Phillies lost, 9-3, to the Reds. Ashby was selected 25th overall by the Colorado Rockies in the 1992 Expansion Draft. But on November 10th, 1999, Ashby returned to Philadelphia in a trade from the San Diego Padres for Adam Eaton, Carlton Loewer, and Steve Montgomery. In three seasons as a Phillie, Ashby had a record of 6-15 with a 6.14 ERA. Ashby pitched 14 season in the majors and finished his career with a record of 98-110 and 4.12 ERA. Ashby also was selected to two all-star teams while as a member of the Padres in 1998 and 1999. Ashby pitched for the Phillies, Rockies, Padres, Atlanta Braves, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
