BTW, the Ryan vs. Clemens game played on 9/7/92 (Texas Heat # 3) was an excellent one, but my guy Ryan was outmatched by Rocket Roger in this game. That being said, I recall that Nolan left this game in the eighth or ninth inning with an injury.
FYI, I believe that this game only went the standard 9 innings, not 16. Nolan's high water mark was 12 innings. He did this twice in his 27 year career...
Here is a scan of Red Sox broadcasting great Ken Coleman's personal scoresheet from Texas Heat # 1 which featured Texas flamethrowers Nolan Ryan and Rocket Roger Clemens in their first hookup. Ryan won this one 2-1.
I'm also including a scan of season ticket stubs to Texas Heat # 1 and # 2. Overall, Roger won two of the three games where they faced off. No matter what the outcome, the fans in attendance walked away the winners!

Scott,
Impressive group of items you posted, as always. What I meant was sixteen innings of pitching combined between the two. Ryan gave up all three runs in the nine inning game.
