I had originally sent some envelopes to Arlington, Texas prior to Ryan's first attempt at the 300th victory. Unfortunately he did not win. On his next attempt at Milwaukee I sent some envelopes there. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Postmaster at Arlington held the covers and canceled them on the day Ryan pitched his 300th career victory.  the result is a pair of envelopes canceled at Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers and Milwaukee.
