I write in a monthly sports magazine...usually high school stuff and whatnot, but now and then I venture into baseball cards. Once month when I was particularly dry on content, I did an article on baseball players in the T206 set who had some connection to Southwest Virginia. I made off hand remark that both Ray Ryan and Shag should be inducted into the local baseball hall of fame. I got a call from his granddaughter asking what the procedure was and we got him nominated and now quite a few of the Ryan family will be coming to the Star City for his induction.
