Not prewar, but a nice new Ryan photo addition to my collection
I also love the crescent glove Jonathan. Great pickup!
Not prewar, but I did pick up this terrific original 8 x 10 1989 action photo of Nolan Ryan that originated from The Sporting News Archive.
Not only do I love all of the key elements of the photo, but it also features the 1989 Ryan game used glove that I own in my personal collection. My glove came directly from Nolan Ryan and I have shown it previously on net54 in a thread where we showed favorite items in our collections. I also have a pair of game used Nike spikes from Ryan's 1989 season (one year style) that he is wearing in this photo as well.
In 1989 Nolan Ryan struck out HOF Rickey Henderson for his 5,000th career strikeout in August, became the oldest player to be the winning pitcher in the All Star Game at age 42, pitched two 1-hitters and became the first player to strike out 300 in a season for the 6th time, besting his own record (now tied with future HOF Randy Johnson).
