[1] Stein jumped the fence and went onto the baseball field with Ashley, where he threw discs (Frisbees) for the dog to catch.
The crowd was in awe at Ashley's disc-catching ability, as he ran up to 35 miles per hour and leaped 9 feet in the air to snag the Frisbees.
[2] The stunt was so novel that the game was stopped and Joe Garagiola continued to announce the flying disc action on the field.
[1] The nationally televised exhibition of Ashley's skill did much to fuel interest in the disc dog sport.
[5] Ashley's skills as a disc dog were featured in the 1977 documentary entitled Floating Free, which was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Live Action Short Film.
