Default RIP HOF Don Sutton

Wow, another HOF pitcher passes away in the last 12 months...

Don Sutton, great guy & I got to know him as a regular customer in 1986 when I was the wine buyer and wine captain at The Ritz in Newport Beach.
Sutton used to celebrate each career win with a great bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Huge wine enthusiast.

Here are a few items from my personal collection:

A signed Angels program that commemorated Sutton getting his 300th career win and his ticket into Cooperstown.
I always loved this photo!

A signed newspaper clipping from his 300th win. Not an IP autograph, but cool never the less

Two season ticket stubs to his 300th career win; one signed, one unsigned

A ticket stub to Sutton's 3,000th career strikeout.

RIP Mr. Sutton!
