Historic ORIGINAL newspapers for your viewing pleasure!

[Scott Garner]

Definately not as old as some of the others newspapers featured, but one of my personal favorites. Here is the front of the Detroit Free Press complete newspaper following his 2nd career no-hitter on 7/15/73. Ryan felt that this game unquestionably featured his career best stuff. 17 K's and a game so overpowering that the last hitter up Norm Cash brought a table leg to the plate instead of a bat. When home plate umpire Ron Luciano asked Cash what was up with the table leg, Cash replied I'm not going to hit him anyway. What difference does it make?" Great stuff!!

Not part of this thread, but I'm also going to include photos of Ryan's catcher Art Kusnyer's catchers mitt from the 2nd no-hitter, a game used ball from the 2nd no-hitter, a vintage era autographed snapshot of Stormin' Norman and finally a vintage snapshot of Ryan exiting Tiger Stadium following the game. Check out the 1970's era threads that Ryan is wearing. I think I might have sold that exact jacket during my days selling mens suits at JC Penney's. LOL
