Dan Howett. He hit the last home run off Nolan Ryan. Nolan then retired and Dan might as well have too.
I was at that game.
Ryan threw out his arm just after that slam, damn shame to end such a great career like that.

He still has one hell of a handshake! You ever hear Nolan Ryan tell his story about "Snow-monkey's"? You can Google it. I watched him give an interview at Ticketstock on 1310 The Ticket of Dallas. The crowd was laughing so hard. We were all like, if he wasn't famous you'd think he was crazy. "Those Frickin' Snow-monkey's man!"

Here is the clip of him telling that exact story. He references the state of Washington.

Well, he did pinch-hit a grand slam. That was a flash. A really brief one, but a flash. ;)

If were digging this deep, Doug Strange hit a pinch homerun in the '95 run in August to catch the Angel's to win the game. He ended up with 3 all year. Lol
