Here are some of my favorite game used Nolan Ryan items from his years with the Texas Rangers circa 1989-1993:
1989 Nolan Ryan game used glove. Letter of provenance Nolan Ryan.
In 1989 Ryan struck out Rickey Henderson for his 5,000th career strikeout on 8/22/89. Nolan became the oldest winning pitcher in the All Star game in Anaheim (42), struck out 300 in a season for his 6th time, struck out 15 in a game and threw two 1-hitters. Not bad for an "old guy"...
1989 Nolan Ryan game used Nike spikes. One year style and they are HAMMERED. Letter of Provenance- Nolan's son Reese Ryan.
1993 Nolan Ryan's complete game used uniform to Nolan's last career win # 324 (8/15/93 at Cleveland). Jersey and pants having matching/ corresponding tagging.
1993 Nolan Ryan game used Rangers hat from 5/7/93 at KC. The hat is it's own provenance. Check out the inscription on the underside of the bill. It's amazing how much perspiration staining this hat has for him using it in perhaps only one game. A very humid night in KC and Ryan gets
pounded by the Royals!! Terrific hat!
Enjoy!
