Didn’t Ryan just stop pitching a year or two ago?

Seems like it, doesn't it?

I got to see him pitch a no-hitter and a two-hitter in the Dome back in the 80s. Seems like both of them were late season games.

Some of my fondest memories of my youthful days are at the Dome watching Ryan, Scott, DeShaies, Cruz, Bagwell, Biggio, etc.

September 26 1981, #5. I will never forget how loud the crowd was in the dome during the 9th.
More rare than that even, I was lucky to see him hit his first homerun. Whizzed right in front above us in the 3rd base boxes (I was a Dodger fan then) as it just cleared the fence down the line.
Saw Dusty Baker while I was on the field during batting practice at Minute Maid last month and said I would always remember him for 2 things; kindly giving me an autographed, unused bat as a youngster and grounding to Art Howe to seal #5. Class act.
