About twenty years ago, I attended an Angel game with my son, Ryan. Wally Joyner hit a wicked, hooking foul ball that came right at us. Ryan ended up with the ball as we narrowly missed getting hit by a major league line drive. Flash forward, twenty years later, I attended an Angels-Oakland game with Eric, Ray, and his son, Griffin. Our host was none other than Wally Joyner, who has become a friend and golfing buddy of Eric. Wally took us out on the field for batting practice, introducing us to various players and coaches. We then enjoyed the game although the Angels' last inning rally fell short by a run. That ball that Ryan has kept for twenty years? Wally signed it for him. It read, "Ryan, Really glad this missed you! Wally Joyner."
