 Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros became the first pitcher in Major League history to reach the 4,000 strikeout mark when he fanned New York's Danny Heap leading off the sixth inning in the Astros' win over the New York Mets, 4-3 in 12 innings. If you remember, Bill Dorn had his fifth hit of the game to win that game. I'm sure you remember that game back in 1985 when Nolan Ryan reached the 4,000 strikeout mark. So Dave's name goes in for the drawing for that $30 gift certificate will be announced in the winter.
