Cliff,
Ruth Ryan was indeed a cute one.
She also was a TX state tennis champion. Great athlete as well...

BTW, she encouraged Nolan to stick with pitching, believing in his talent early in Nolan's career when he was ready to toss in the towel while a member of the Mets.
Her steadfast support and belief in Nolan was definitely a major factor in him having the success that he did over his 27 year HOF career.

Who can forget these two?

My favorite (more poignant) photo of one of baseball's best couples, IMO. And although their love story was short-lived, their enduring commitment was honored for decades.

I have the photo displayed with a secretarial Lou autograph, signed by Eleanor, mailed to a fan in October of 1939.
