Ryan was a freak of nature being able to do what he did well into his 40’s. His talent level was staggering and that alone will win him a place in the hearts of many fans/collectors even though his won-loss record does not match up with many other less talented HOF pitchers. To me, Ryan is comparable to Bo Jackson (minus the career ending injury), another staggering talent who collectors have fallen in love with although his numbers pale in comparison to some other marginal HOF’ers from his era.
