I was very happy to add these Type I Nolan Ryan pitching sequence photos taken during his first career no-hitter at KC Royals on 5/15/73. The windup photo actually appeared in
The Kansas City Times on the front page of the sports section the following day. Scant few original photos of Ryan's 1st no-no have appeared in the hobby through the years. I knew these sequence photos existed, but have never been able to find any prior to Henry's auction. As you can see, not many people were in attendance at Nolan's 1st no-hitter. Only 12,205 patrons attended this game, which was the lowest attendance in any of Nolan's career 7 no-hitters.
Here is a scan of my copy of The Kansas City Times front page that was signed in blue ballpoint pen back in 1973.
Mark V., thanks for providing the assist.
