Thanks Jimmy! I had hoped to win Enberg's scoresheet for Ryan's 383 K game too, but it wasn't meant to be... I'm thrilled to own the four 19 K scoresheets.

BTW, I didn't mention this in my July pickup description, but the 8/20/74 (100.9 MPH 19 K) game was the 1st time that I ever caught a foul ball in a baseball game. The foul ball was pitched by Nolan and fouled off by Ron LeFlore straight back into the first row of the View Section and into my waiting hands. Ironically, Ron Leflore was Ryan's 100.9 MPH record pitch as well as his (4th, 7th, 12th and) 19th strikeout victim in the game. Now there's an ultimate companion piece!

I'm always amazed by what you can find for the collection if you wait long enough. The power of patience has it's definate rewards!
