I was actually employed with the Texas Rangers Baseball Organization during this era, on the clock (but on a break) as this was going down. Good times. :D

Nolan is easily my favorite all-time baseball player. No close second.

ETA - Comedian Jay Mohr re-telling a story of Nomar's first AB against Nolan. Love it.

I think I could watch Ryan videos all night. Better than the Astros tonight anyway.

From what I understand, Nolan DOES, indeed, enjoy signing those.

Yes, he does. I left a copy of that print at his museum at Alvin community college a few years back. I made a "donation" to the cause and he did sign my print and they called me when he had signed it.
