5,714 K's with no one in the rear view mirror......
I posted this one before, but it's one of my favorites. History speaks for itself here.
Nolan Ryan wore this glove during his 5,000th career strikeout on 8/22/89. The letter of provenace for this glove is direct from Ryan.
As many of you may know, he ended up with 5,714 career strikeouts. Now that Randy Johnson has retired with 4875 career K's, IMHO no pitcher will ever reach 5,000 K's ever again due to a number of factors including, in no particular order: genetics, 27 year career, today's focus on specialized pitching, 5 day rotatations, 100 pitch pitchcounts....
