The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Samuel Shaw Arentz, Jr., dated 21 June 1988.

    12/15/2015 RICHIE HEBNER; ; THE MAN IS FULL OF LIFE - AND SO IS HIS HOT BAT - The Boston Globe Archives RICHIE HEBNER; ; THE MAN IS FULL OF LIFE - AND SO IS HIS HOT BAT [FIRST Edition] Boston Globe (pre-1997 Fulltext) - Boston, Mass. Author: Steve Marantz Globe Staff Date: Jul 13, 1980 Start Page: 1 Section: SPORTS Document Text Richie Hebner, who digs graves in the winter, plays baseball in Detroit in the summer. People who spend time in cemeteries and Detroit are either dead or contemplating death, but Hebner had 25 RBIs in the 20 games before the All- Star break. If that is dead, the Red Sox had better start scouting cadavers. As a matter of fact Richie Hebner is very much alive and enjoying himself, which is his nature. A great hockey fan, Hebner once showed up at a Bruins practice at the Spectrum during the playoffs. Next day, Don Cherry was wearing a Phillies hat in practice. The final word on Hebner's irrepressibility is that he has found the lighter side of Detroit. His story began when the Tigers closed their right- field bleacher section in June due to unruly fans. "They reopened the bleachers and started checking everybody at the gate," said Hebner. "One guy shows up in a wheelchair with a blanket over his legs. They checked under the blanket and found a case of beer. They told him he couldn't take it in Tiger Stadium. "The guy said, Well I can't get around like other people. I'm not gonna bother nobody.' "They said, You can't do it,' so the guy gets off his wheelchair, says To hell with you,' and walks off with the beer." Hebner's laughter caught the wind over Mud Pond Wednesday, the last day of the All-Star break.
