June 10, 1979: Disney animator Ward Kimball sends a caboose from his train collection to the California State Railway Museum.

Nolan Ryan struck out 16 Detroit Tigers en route to a 9-1 Angels victory and the compliments flowed in.

"That's the sharpest I've ever seen him," said a regular visitor to
Anaheim Stadium who was no stranger to giving his opinion. Pitching
coach? Network analyst? Try former president.

Richard Nixon was quoted in Mark Heisler's story as a
run-of-the-mill observer. Of course, the story also included a
discussion of Ryan's blood which had been checked because of recurring
muscle pulls.

"You got to realize the blood of a Texan is a little different from
normal blood," Ryan said. "They mighta kept a sample for future
reference."
