Nolan Ryan Letters

Here are a couple of great letters that relate to Nolan Ryan's time spent with the California Angels:

1) Nolan's hand written letter to the Traveling Secretary of the NY Mets dated January 30, 1972. Nolan thanks him for all of his help while on the Mets and discusses his very early beginnings with the California Angels. Historic in nature as it covers what arguably was one of the best or worst trades in history. Terrible trade for the Mets- An over-the-hill Jim Fregosi for Nolan Ryan and 3 other players. Incredible trade for the Angels!

One special note which not everyone knows:
Nolan Ryan struggles with dyslexia. Hand written letters like this are extremely rare for this reason.

2) A December 7th, 1974 letter from Nolan Ryan to Angels GM Harry Dalton outlining his request of a $500K multi-year contract. Check out GM Dalton's sarcastic hand written notes on the letter. LOL
