Between the Covers

Unbound. Bumper sticker, measuring 12" x 3¾". Lightly rubbed and soiled, a few small soil marks on the verso, very good. A bumper sticker reading "Richie Ashburn... Why the Hall Not?," a campaign originated in 1991 by fan Jim Donahue to express frustration that Ashburn had not yet been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Over the next three and a half years, Donahue collected over 180,000 signatures, leading to Ashburn’s election to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1995. Jim Donahue would later co-author a book by the same title in 2011.
