Default Ryan's Last Game - NOT

I went to Anaheim in 1989 to see the last game of the year, thinking that it might be Ryan's final game as well. He needed 13 Ks to reach 300 for the year.
If it proved to be his last game, I was going to get him to sign the ticket stub.

Well it was the strangest game I ever attended, because Anaheim still loved Nolan and suspected that this was his last game as well. The crowd went wild every time an Angel struck out. When Nolan hit 300, the crowd erupted.

Unfortunately Nolan went on to pitch 4 more years. Never got the auto and I don't know where the ticket stub is.
