HOF Nolan Ryan 1989 game used glove
Hi Tony,
Great ARod glove!
I feel the same way about game used gloves, BTW. I would also add that Denny Esken is a terrific resource on the topic of game used gloves.
Nolan's 1989 glove is certainly one of my favorite pieces in my advanced Nolan Ryan collection.
Here are pics of my 1989 Nolan Ryan game used glove, which came directly from "The Express" himself.
In 1989, Nolan became the 1st and only pitcher to strike out 5,000 in a career (MLB record).
He was the winning pitcher in the 1989 All Star game in Anaheim. At age 42, he became the oldest ML pitcher to ever get the "W" in the Mid-Summer Classic (MLB record).
Additionally, in 1989 Nolan fanned 300 batters in a season for the 6th and final time in a career.
When Nolan retired, that was another MLB record.
Note: This record has since tied by Randy Johnson aka "The Big Unit" (#2 pitcher in all-time K's- tops as a left hander).
