Brian Lipowski is the property control officer for the Wheaton Police Department, but maybe he ought to be a detective. Lipowski put his sleuthing skills to good use recently when he reunited a local boy with the Nolan Ryan-autographed baseball he lost nearly two years ago in a city park. According to the city , Lipowski was taking part in an audit of the thousands of pieces of property and evidence in police custody when he came across the baseball signed by the MLB strikeout king. Lipowski, who played baseball in college, knew the significance of a ball signed by a Hall of Famer like Ryan, and he decided to find out how it ended up in the police department.
